This Book Is a Planetarium

Six mind-blowing tools in one magical pop-up book. Forget everything you thought a book could be. This Book Is a Planetarium redefines the possibilities of paper with six extraordinary pop-up contraptions that actually work—turning the page into an interactive playground of science, design, and wonder.

Created by artist and designer Kelli Anderson, this book transforms into a functioning planetarium that projects constellations, a stringed musical instrument you can actually play, a geometric drawing generator, an infinite calendar, a clever message decoder, and a paper speaker that amplifies sound.

Each pop-up is accompanied by insightful explanations that reveal the science behind the magic, making this a one-of-a-kind experience that educates as it amazes.

Whether you're a curious kid, a design lover, or just someone who never outgrew pop-up books, This Book Is a Planetarium is an unforgettable gift and a show-stopping conversation piece. It’s not just a book—it’s a hands-on celebration of how things work.

Experience the awe. Rediscover the joy. Open a book that becomes a universe.
