David Bowie's 1969 single 'Space Oddity' has been transformed into an illustrated children's book.

Artist Andrew Kolb said he was inspired to create the book because the lyrics in the original song, which is about space exploration, were so influential.

"Have you ever listened to a song and your mind's eye is immediately filled with visuals?" Kolb wrote on his website.

"David Bowie's classic space epic is one such song for me. Every lyric paints such a vivid picture that I figured 'Oh hey, I guess I'll make that into a children's book!' Yes, I talk like this."


'Space Oddity' is available to download now.

As in the original song, 'Space Oddity' follows the story of Major Tom.

There is currently no physical version of the book, but you can download 'Space Oddity' from Kolb's website, kolbisneat.com.
