Book Info:
Fly to the stars in your very own rocket ship. Wave at the mean, green Martians. Picnic with Moon Men. Play tag with the comets. Win a blue ribbon space race. Just before your bedtime. Inspired by the palette of Vincent van Gogh, let’s go on a colorful space journey as we explore the colors of the rainbow and planets in our solar system through the power and wonder of a child’s whimsical imagination.
Innovatively conceived and developed by Marie Rose, ‘ZWOOSH!’ takes children and the grown-ups who love them on a whimsical and interactive journey through space to meet green Martians, have a picnic with Moon Men and even play tag with comets – all before bedtime! Rose’s book, stunningly-illustrated by diverse Los Angeles artist Susan Lee, along with the wider Indie Rose Books for Kids (IRB4K) project, seeks to make bedtime highly-engaging and bring the entire family together for endless happily-ever-afters.

Jan Review:
This is a great book to read with your children, it fun and imaginative. I love how descriptive the author is as she describes each of the colors of the rainbow. My ten year said he loved the pictures and for him it all about the pictures. This book is perfect for reading at bedtime or gifting to children who are great readers but still want pictures in their books. Thanks for providing me a ecopy and a physical copy for the giveaway.
THIS IS A US GIVEAWAY ONLY.!!!!

I saw early versions, and was fascinated from then on. I think it will have value for my 11 year-old grandson as well as his younger siblings, ages 3 and 4. They will love to look at all the colors and the poetic rhythm of the text. Well done, Marie!
I love that is uses one of my favorite artists as inspiration. Maybe I can work into my homeschooled daughter’s art study when we do Van Gogh. That would be awesome.
This book is really cute!! I think my son would love it!! Thank you for the chance to win!
