It just isn't the best story I've ever read and it also does not have a moral message that makes you want to pick it up every night. A fun story about a little girl who wants to be an astronaut pestering her older brother to take her to see a meteor shower. I also loved the message that it conveys: that we should all LOOK UP more often as we can all admit that we do too much looking down and to spend time with your families and the people you care about whilst you have the chance! Rocket, a brown-skinned, bespectacled child with a telescope about as big as she is, is always “looking up.Quite a bit more text than is often found in a picture book and lots of meteor shower facts for these who like to learn while they are reading or being read to. And when Jamal gets too into his gaming to take Rocket to the park to watch the meteor shower, what will she do?

Even though this is a picture book, it incorporates so many important messages into one small story! Leaving that one quibble aside, I found this a sweet, heartwarming little picture-book, one I would recommend to all young star-gazers and would-be astronomers. I could grow to like Rocket and Jamal, although the text was a little heavy-handed for me - and I’m maybe too old fashioned to find this new style of illustration much more than generic.A delightful and educational book for young readers interested in space travel, with colourful illustrations, large-print text, fun facts, diverse characters and heartfelt father-daughter interactions. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Rocket and she does everything she can to make her dreams come true! They give the effect of the night sky with stars peeking out, and I love how Rocket is drawn because of her hairstyle: cornrows going back into a bun with a high, mini afro puff (it’s so cute! Of course, I'm sure that they were a deliberate choice, and were meant to be endearingly geeky, but somehow my gaze was always being drawn to those round spectacles, making them more of a distraction than anything else.
