Zog's Big
Question: An interplanetary tale of wonder, belief, and big questions.
Follow Zog,
an inquisitive young alien from the planet Luminos—where everything is tested,
measured, and understood—as he investigates mysterious reports from a distant
blue world called Terra.
With the
help of his new friends, Sam and Max, Zog explores a park, a church, a library,
and a university — meeting people with many different ideas about life's
biggest questions.
Zog's Big
Question is a thoughtful, gently humorous adventure for readers 8 and up — a
celebration of curiosity, imagination, and the many ways people search for
truth.

Excerpt Two:
It wasn’t until Zog was halfway to the Great
Museum of Exploration that he realized—he’d forgotten his lamp.
Luckily, all the questions about whether it was
even possible to go off-world were bright enough to light the way.
As Zog crept through the vast halls, he noticed
just how empty the museum was. Without the usual crowds, he could finally lose
himself in the exhibits without worrying about bumping into anyone.
His footfalls echoed across the crystal floor as
towering displays vied for his attention—relics from a time when Luminites
still explored the cosmos, hungry for knowledge and driven by curiosity.
Gleaming spacecraft, artifacts from distant
planets, and flickering holograms of strange life forms filled the space with
silent testimony. Zog’s soft blue glow shimmered with intensity, casting long
shadows between the displays.
On Luminos, everyone was blue. It was the colour
of certainty—measured, tested, confirmed. The brightness of a Luminite’s glow
was a telltale sign that something was on their mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Review: A short and simple story about a
creature’s quest to learn more. Story explores science vs. belief. It started
off pretty interesting. We soon realize that Zog was a little alien that
stumbles upon a nearby planet called Earth, and he meets up with these human
kids and starts asking questions about God. Story is a humble quest for the big
answers, which might suit those that are into religion. Personally, I’m not
religious, so I didn’t get that into it. The illustrations were cute and the
concept in general was rather nice. All in all, a fairly nice, little read.
