Astronuts

Two squirrels, Nino and Lilli, fantasize about a starry sky full of beautiful planets. Planets where super-sized hazelnuts grow. The two squirrels enthusiastically try to leave Earth to see their dreams come true. Leon, an old wise owl, prefers to lead them to his telescope. He shows them what to expect from other planets. ‘Astronootjes’ is written for young children, with visual jokes and astronomy information adapted to their level. Topics discussed range from the planets in our solar system to the origins of the Earth and the conditions for life. During ‘Astronootjes’, travel through space with Nino and Lilli in search of the largest hazelnuts in the universe.
