Au-delà du soleil, by Jacques de Roussan

Night time. While sleeping, Pierre dreams of space: his rocket leaves Earth to explore the solar system. Moons, satellites, stars, comets and planets, Pierre discovers the different astral bodies. But he has to be careful, the universe could be dangerous, the explosion of a star or a meteor shower could damage his spaceship. Tonight, Pierre will live a magical night.

In this splendid picture book from 1972, Jacques de Roussan opened up the way to space to young readers. Composed in collage, the book was screen printed in 1000 copies. The Canadian Library Association selected it as one of the most beautiful illustrated books for children in the 1970s.
