Book recommendations for a 6 year old space nerd? (Those targeting a slightly higher age group are fine too… she is a good reader, really loves space related topics and my general philosophy around books is that she will grow into it if it’s a tad bit challenging right now)

A few that my 8 year old has liked in that category:
- Galaxy Girls - this is a book of stories about women in space. We read one often at bedtime and have been thru it many times
- astrophysics for young people in a hurry
- hidden figures (the illustrated kids book, there are many books by this name!)
- everything under the sun
- star stories
- zoo in the stars

A few other things my kid likes that are related but not exactly space:
- the way things work book. We read these at bedtime too
- this book is a planetarium. Hard to explain but if you look it up they have videos and pics that explain
- what if - this is a book of crazy questions but we always have the best discussions over dinner with these
- binoculars to look at stars - found these easier for younger kids than a telescope

Thank you, this is such a great list!!! ❤️

Have you read Moonshot by Brian Floca. It’s a picture book but very good.

I have two others that have been well loved. Will send names when we get home. My 6.5!year old is also a space lover

There's a series with "Zita the Space Girl' in the title. They're graphic novels and might be good for that age. I cant remember how old my kids was when she read them.

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.

Hi fishes,

My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
