8. “Space Oddity” Children’s Book:

As reported by the good folks at MAKE, visual artist Andrew Kolb was so moved by 1969’s “Space Oddity” that he was driven beyond himself to commit the spirit and message of the song to paper in the form of a children’s book. The result is an adorable, if not a little harrowing illustration of poor Major Tom’s ill-fated journey. Probably not the right choice for all kids across the board, but likely useful for the occasional precocious moppet with a profound fixation on existential dread. Hey, at least Kolb didn’t try to illustrate “Ashes To Ashes.”
