Recenzii
Rocket
is
on
a
mission...to
get
her
angst-y
teen
brother
to
put
down
his
cellphone
and
look
up.
An
aspiring
astronaut,
Rocket
makes
it
a
point
to
set
up
her
telescope
and
gaze
at
the
stars
every
night
before
bedtime.
Inspired
by
Mae
Jemison,
Rocket,
a
supercute
black
girl
with
braids
and
a
coiffed
Afro,
hopes
to
be
"the
greatest
astronaut,
star
catcher,
and
space
walker
who
has
ever
lived."
As
the
night
of
the
Phoenix
meteor
shower
approaches,
Rocket
makes
fliers
inviting
everyone
in
her
neighborhood
to
see
the
cosmic
event
at
the
park.
Over
the
course
of
her
preparations,
she
shares
information
about
space-shuttle
missions,
what
causes
a
meteor
shower,
and
when
is
the
best
time
to
see
one.
Jamal,
Rocket's
insufferable
older
brother,
who
sports
a
high-top
fade
and
a
hoodie,
is
completely
engrossed
in
his
phone,
even
as
just
about
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
turns
up.
The
bright,
digital
illustrations
are
an
exuberant
celebration
of
both
space
and
black
culture
that
will
simultaneously
inspire
and
ground
readers.
That
the
main
characters
are
unapologetically
black
is
made
plain
through
myriad
details.
Rocket's
mother
is
depicted
cornrowing
her
daughter's
hair
with
a
wide-toothed
comb
and
hair
oil.
Gap-toothed
Rocket,
meanwhile,
makes
her
enthusiasm
for
space
clear
in
the
orange
jumpsuit
both
she
and
her
cat
wear-and
even
Jamal's
excited
by
the
end.
Outstanding-a
breath
of
fresh
air,
just
like
Rocket
herself.
Rocket wants to be the greatest astronaut, star-catcher and space-traveller who has ever lived, just like Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman in space.
She's so excited about seeing a meteor shower that she makes an announcement over the supermarket loudspeaker when the cashier isn't looking, and hands out flyers to her fellow shoppers, much to her older brother Jamal's disdain - after all, Jamal prefers to be looking down at his phone most of the time and not up at the stars. And when Jamal gets too into his gaming to take Rocket to the park to watch the meteor shower, what will she do? Fortunately a knock at the door provides a joyous solution...
Nathan Bryon and Dapo Adeola's charming picture book gifts us with a gorgeous character in Rocket, a girl whose passion for all things space is as inspiring to the reader as her heroine Mae Jemison is to her. Adeola has a real talent for portraying expression, from teen Jamal's sulks to Rocket's jubilation at watching the stars.
Sprinkled with facts about meteors and space, this charming picture book is also a lovely representation of family, sibling relationships and one girl's infectious enthusiasm.
Young Rocket, an admirer of astronaut Mae Jemison, never stops telling others to "Look up!" Named for a rocket that blasted into space on the day she was born, Rocket is preparing herself to be the "greatest astronaut, star catcher, space walker who has ever lived." She sets up her telescope each night to wish on a star, her everyday clothing choice is an astronaut suit, star earrings are her favorites, and she has lots of information for those around her, especially concerning the Phoenix meteor shower to be visible that night. Her first-person commentary describes her family, her passion for space, and informs anyone who will listen about the Earth's travel through a comet's trail of dust. A multiethnic cast of characters with expressive cartoon faces fill this brightly colorful book with strong contrasts between indoor and outdoor images, variation of fonts, and speech or thought bubbles. All leads to the night sky event, when a frustrating sky search for the meteor awakens self-absorbed brother Jamal who finally turns off his phone to "Look up!" and give a bit of encouragement to his younger sister. VERDICT 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. A suggested first purchase for all libraries.
