A Child Wrote a Space Adventure Children's Book! STEM Learning, Imagination & Self-Publishing

What happens when a child’s imagination becomes the heart of a published children’s book? In this episode of Beyond the Book with JoAnn Dickinson, I sit down with author Darya Gunay to talk about the inspiring story behind Dani the First Kid in Space — a fun and imaginative STEM adventure about a young boy who travels through a portal and explores the planets in our solar system. Darya shares how her son, Dani, came up with the story idea, how she helped him organize his thoughts, and what the creative process looked like as they turned his imagination into a finished children’s book. We also talk about encouraging kids to write, dream big, explore science, and believe their ideas are worth sharing. This conversation is perfect for parents, educators, children’s book authors, and self-published authors who want to inspire young readers through creativity, storytelling, and STEM learning. In this episode, we discuss: • How Dani came up with the children’s book story idea • Turning a child’s imagination into a published children’s book • Using storytelling to teach kids about planets and the solar system • Why STEM learning belongs in children’s books • The self-publishing process behind Dani the First Kid in Space • Encouraging kids to write, create, and believe in their ideas If you love children’s books, STEM education, space adventures, or behind-the-scenes author stories, this episode will inspire you.
