Henno Käo was a talented man – musician, poet, artist and he wrote 33 children’s books. “The cosmic voyage” is based on a book called The Urantia Book – originally two thousand and ninety-seven pages. We do not know who were the exact authors, but it was written in Chicago, USA sometime between 1924-1955.
Urantia is the name for our planet. According to The Urantia Book a spirit living inside you is like a phone, that you can use at any time. The death is not the end, only the body dies, you can get a new body and you can go on new adventures. According to the book, the grand universe has seven superuniverses.
In the book you can find an idea that a large part of what exists is invisible. It is interesting that some inhabitants beside human beings on our planet are between men and angels and they are called Midwayers. Their purpose is to look after all the people alongside angels.
It is difficult to say if it should be believed or not. Some believe it. But anyway, it is amazing story. What is the ultimate purpose for the cosmic adventure, you can find out in the end of the story.
Original The Urantia Book has no pictures. This book has superb mystical illustrations, depicting interesting creations, Adam and Eve, planets and even invisible beings who look like ghosts. It makes the reading more fun for children.
This is the last book Henno Käo wrote and illustrated.
This story is interesting for girls and boys, who like fantasy, cosmic adventures, history and stories about universe.
