Rocket Says Look Up!

Product Information

Funny, informative and just downright delightful, this is pretty much a perfect picture book about one girl's quest to make her brother look up at the world around him. Letting readers read about another young person who has a different race to them is SO IMPORTANT in the modern world, and it will teach them that everyone is equal! This interesting picture book does a terrific job of seamlessly intertwining science with a healthy view of screen moderating.

for the illustrator's nonsense about how he creates "art that challenges assumptions about gender, race and ethnicity in a fun and upbeat way.Rocket is so enthusiastic about the meteor shower, her neighbors can’t help but become interested too.

will inspire readers of all ages to take a stand for what they believe in and will teach them that one small person can make a BIG difference. The story also follows her brother Jamal who is constantly looking down at his phone, the book then takes a weird turn and hammers home the message of constantly looking at a phone is bad. The artwork effectively brings to life the succinct, rhyming text and will help readers make sense of it.This is preachy (and BTW, you can use that cell phone to get a compass app or a tracking app from NASA, both of which would have been useful here), and absolutely banal. An aspiring astronaut, Rocket makes it a point to set up her telescope and gaze at the stars every night before bedtime. Rocket dreams of being an astronaut, like one of her heroes Mae Jemison- the first African American woman in space. She hopes to one day become an astronaut which I found such a wonderful dream (hopefully she can do it).

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.He's a rising star in the world of screenwriting and has an animated series, Afro Kid, currently under option in England. On one page, these facts were dropped one after the other and we see Jamal look down at her obviously annoyed and over meteor showers, lol. But then it kind of morphs into a PSA to older kids/teens to stop looking at their cellphones and live in the now. As they are walking on the street, Jamal is sprayed by a car, and Rocket laughs and says it wouldn’t have happened if he had looked up from his phone.
