From U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limn and Caldecott Honoree Peter Ss: a transcendent picture book featuring the poem that will travel into space aboard NASAs Europa Clipper.

As part of her tenure as U.S. poet laureate, Ada Limn has written In Praise of Mystery, which will be engraved on the Europa Clipper spacecraft that launches to Jupiter and its moons in October 2024. Published here as Limns debut picture book, this luminous poem is illustrated by celebrated and internationally renowned artist Peter Ss.

In Praise of Mystery celebrates humankinds endless curiosity, asks us what it means to explore beyond our known world, and shows how the unknown can reflect us back to ourselves.
