"Planet Earth Is Blue" follows the story of a 12-year-old girl named Nova, who is non-verbal and communicates through her writing. Set against the backdrop of the space shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986, Nova grapples with the complexities of her life, including her mother's struggles with mental illness and her deep bond with her sister, Ruby, who has recently been placed in foster care. As Nova navigates her emotions and the uncertain world around her, she finds solace in her love for astronomy and the hope of being reunited with Ruby, making the story a poignant exploration of resilience and connection.
