What is Gravity

“Starfish”, asks Morgan, “What is gravity?” Morgan, a young boy from Boston, is on vacation with his best friend, Little Fly, in the South African resort of Plettenberg Bay. In  “STARFISH AND SPACEDUST,” the second book in the Morgan and Little Fly series of illustrated children’s books, a wise Starfish explains what is gravity and many other interesting facts about space. Starfish explains gravity is a force which attracts all things towards each other. It applies everywhere: On earth, on the moon, the sun, the galaxy, the universe.

The boy and fly ask the question after being startled by a bright flashing light in the sky. As well as learning about the origins of the universe, they discover answers to the following questions: What is a planet? What is gravity? What is a shooting star?
