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.
