David Bowie’s ‘Space Oddity’ as Traumatizing Children’s Book

SpaceOddity AndrewKolb cover 600x600 David Bowies Space Oddity as Traumatizing Childrens Book

Andrew Kolb‘s children’s book adaptation of the David Bowie classic Space Oddity is a fantastic visual interpretation of the song. Not sure I recommend it for actually reading to your kids, because it’s all kinds of depressing. I mean, you’ve got to explain that he’s not really dead, it’s all a metaphor for drug addiction, as we’ll learn years later. Also, there’s no space program anymore which is a huge downer. Still, it’s loads of fun and totally brilliant. For adults.
