A Journey Where Wonder Meets the Stars
Every once in a while, a children’s book comes along that feels like magic — the kind that sweeps readers into a world where curiosity lights every page. Leann and the Moon Bears’ Secret: A Learning Adventure through the Solar System by Elizabeth Ernst is exactly that kind of book. It’s a vibrant blend of adventure, science, and imagination that turns the mysteries of space into an unforgettable story.
From the very first page, readers are pulled aboard Leann’s ship — a young, fearless pirate’s vessel that doesn’t just sail the seas, but the cosmos. Alongside her loyal crew, Leann embarks on a daring mission to find the legendary Moon Bears, guardians of the constellations. But something’s gone terribly wrong: the mystical Fire Comet has vanished, threatening the harmony of the entire Solar System. To save the stars, Leann must uncover ancient secrets, face cosmic challenges, and learn truths that stretch far beyond her world.
Elizabeth Ernst doesn’t just tell a story — she crafts an experience. Every scene bursts with color and movement, thanks to over 20 vivid illustrations that capture the sparkle of the universe. It’s a book that makes children feel like they’re traveling among planets, chasing comets, and discovering the beauty of the unknown.
Learning that Feels Like an Adventure
At its heart, Leann and the Moon Bears’ Secret is a journey of discovery — one that turns complex science into pure storytelling magic. Elizabeth, a scientist and engineer herself, blends real astronomy into the narrative so effortlessly that children learn without even realizing it.
Through Leann’s eyes, readers explore:
★ The planets that spin in our Solar System
★ Constellations and the celestial bodies that form our night sky
★ The mysteries of Earth’s atmosphere
★ The radiant power of the Sun
★ The haunting beauty of the Moon
★ And even the grand, swirling galaxies that stretch into infinity
Each chapter carries gentle lessons wrapped in excitement — facts woven into dialogue, starlit maps, and clever problem-solving. The book becomes a gateway for young readers to see how science and imagination can work hand in hand. It teaches that curiosity isn’t just encouraged — it’s celebrated.
And just when you think the adventure’s over, there’s more to discover. A beautifully designed coloring book inspired by the story invites children to color the cosmos their way. It’s a brilliant touch — a creative bridge between learning and play, where kids can bring Leann’s universe to life in their own shades and patterns.
The Mind Behind the Magic
Elizabeth Ernst isn’t just an author — she’s an explorer in every sense of the word. At 45, she wears many hats: scientist, engineer, adventurer, mother, and storyteller. Her mission? To show children that science isn’t something distant or difficult — it’s a world filled with wonder, waiting to be explored.
Her fascination with discovery began in childhood, listening to her father’s stories that opened doors to new worlds. Those tales planted a seed — one that grew into a lifelong passion for curiosity and exploration. Whether scaling mountains or diving into the depths of imagination, Elizabeth has always believed that discovery begins with a question.
That same spark shines through in her writing. As a mother, she found her greatest adventure in raising her daughter, Leann — the inspiration behind her bold young heroine. Together, they share a love for learning, storytelling, and asking why? That question, Elizabeth says, is the compass guiding every great explorer.
Her work invites both parents and children to embark on that journey — to dream bigger, reach farther, and see that even the smallest question can lead to the grandest discovery.
The Beginning of Infinite Adventures
Leann and the Moon Bears’ Secret isn’t just a standalone story — it’s the start of something much bigger. Elizabeth’s vision stretches far beyond this first book. Future adventures in her Space Series promise new cosmic quests, while her upcoming Animals Series will explore the wonders of the natural world. Each story invites readers to see learning as an adventure that never truly ends.
