Advance Praise
"This aspirational astronaut will inspire readers to follow their dreams—even the most far-fetched ones. (Picture book. 5-8)" - Kirkus Reviews
"Raised on myths of Cheese Mountain, an enterprising mouse thinks he’s made a grand discovery on a night when the moon is particularly round, yellow, and bright. Though the moon is quite far away, he decides that “Even if something seems impossible, you must keep trying. You must imagine the possibilities.” He scrapes together bits and bobs, builds a rocket, and he’s off! The graphic novel-style illustrations are lush and detailed in this inspiring science- and science fiction-minded picture book in which surprises await for those who dare to dream big. MICHELLE ANNE SCHINGLER" - Foreword Reviews

A hopeful and inspiring story for little ones with gorgeous art to boot! I love the mix of science/engineering with fun and silly whimsy. This book will be loved by children with lots of different interests: space, engineering, animals, fantasy, Rockets, etc. This story of preserving and following your heart will surely inspire many children!
