Blast Off and Dream Big with These Science Fiction Picture Books

Aliens, spacecraft, and galaxies far, far away all make frequent appearances in science fiction stories. They invite readers to take an adventure into futuristic worlds more technologically advanced than our current one. While many readers might associate the science fiction genre mostly with notable adult authors like H.G. Wells, Octavia Butler, and Ursula K Le Guin, numerous picture book authors have also used their talents to write and illustrate stories that will delight young readers (and their parents) with their clever takes on genre tropes.

In these books, you’ll find multiple award-winning titles, including an Ezra Jack Keats Best New Illustrator book and a CBC Children’s Choice Book Awards pick. You’ll also be able to page through a wonderfully illustrated, wordless picture book about two unlikely friends on an adventure; meet a group of aliens posing as humans; and watch an earthly dog interact with some visitors who arrive in a flash of light.

Whether you’re looking for something sweet, adventurous, or silly, these science fiction picture books will delight the genre’s littlest fans.
