🔭 From the Desk of Paul Bracken:
"What I love about this book is that it’s written by someone who actually lived the astronaut experience! Mark Kelly commanded the space shuttle Endeavour, and he actually flew with real mice in space—which is what inspired this very character. On top of that, diverting an asteroid isn't just science fiction anymore; NASA's recent DART mission proved we can actually do it. It's fantastic to have a fun, beautifully illustrated picture book that connects kids to the real future of space exploration."
