Meet Rocket—an aspiring astronaut intent on getting her community to LOOK UP! from what they’re doing and reach for the stars. This Chicago Public Library 2019 Best of the Best Book is now available in paperback!

Space-loving Rocket is on a mission: to see the incredible meteor shower that will zoom across the sky over her town. And she wants everyone to see it with her—even her big brother, Jamal, who spends most of his time looking down at his phone. Rocket’s enthusiasm brings neighbors and family together to witness a once-in-a-lifetime sighting.

Perfect for fans of Ada Twist, Scientist, Rocket Says Look Up! will inspire readers of all ages to dream BIG. Award-winning author and illustrator Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola have created an irresistible main character with a passion for science and infectious curiosity.

"Outstanding—a breath of fresh air, just like Rocket herself."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Ideal for space or science-inclined readers, this book includes brief information about outstanding scientist Jemison and a short list of facts about meteors and comets enclosed in an embrace of family relationships and a child’s joy in the world around her.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“The sweet, uncomplicated story for young space lovers is peppered with interesting facts about meteors and Mae Jemison, and has bright, colorful, humorous illustrations that subtly but deliberately represent a vibrant, multiethnic, multicultural neighborhood engaging in a community event.” —Booklist
