Looking for #bookstodon tips! I'm father of a very curious 3.5 year old, who is excited about maps and planets. Most atlases I see aimed at kids are full of bad stereotyping, so any #map nerds with kids and/or suggestions, I'm on the lookout.
Similarly, any #space enthusiasts (maybe @badastro?) with tips for an up-to-date overview of the solar system, maybe with a bit of rockets/probes but not into the naive views of space exploration would be great! -
