Title is "The Space Imagery".

... and our Sun is 4.5 billion years old!
And in another 4.5 billion years, the Sun will turn into a red giant (like a exploding big red ballon) and die! Burning all the planets and killing every form of life in the solar system!

This book really fucked me up. Seriously.

I have it, and a sequel or something like that

Mine is a beautifu and inspiring description of life of little beings in a valley. They live in a big tree and their life is described season after season. The book closes on consecutive zoom-outs where you see that this world, which seems to be a cosmos in its own kind, is in fact a tiny part of a much larger world, our world.
