The sea Have you ever seen the sea glow at night? It’s not magic, but you can thank a type of tiny plankton, bioluminescent plankton. Their glow is caused by a chemical reaction, which protects them from fish – if fish go near the plankton’s glow, they might attract even bigger fish and get eaten themselves! The sky This isn’t just ordinary interstellar foam (is there such thing as ordinary when it comes to space?!), but a photo of the iconic Horsehead Nebula, an astronomical discovery from more than a century ago. The dreamy photo was taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope – absolutely incredible!…

Hi Poppy! Congrats on your new book. As a skater at heart, what inspired you to create a novel? I have always wanted to illustrate children’s books, so I was pretty excited [about the idea]. I was brainstorming with the editor and author and we thought it would be cool to relate me to kids. And can you tell us a little about the story? The story is based on my 12-year-old self and the things I got up to! In the story, I try and save a local skate competition from getting cancelled. So cool! What age did you start skating? Was it love at first skate? I started skating when I was eight. My neighbour let me have a turn on his board. He could see how much…
