Reviews:
A really lovely story that introduces very young children to space exploration. Written in rhyming text, it incorporates lots of intricate and interesting illustrations [filled] with space, math, and engineering [concepts] for caregivers to discuss with their children. . .backmatter [also] helps to explain some of the bigger concepts. While the rhyming text and length of the book lends itself to being read larger in settings, like a classroom, children will also really love to explore the illustrations on their own. Good for readers who are starting to think about STEM concepts but still need an accessible [story] for their age. – Mary Lani, Librarian and Book Reviewer
Introducing young readers to space travel, terms, and NASA missions [is] a lot to pack into one picture book, but Troup and Lenz succeed. Lenz' illustrations, especially those of outer space, and Troup's rhymed text combine to make readers feel like they are truly blasting off! – Erin Dealey, Award-winning Author of Dear Earth...From Your Friends in Room 5
Between the lyrical text and the unique kid-friendly art that incorporates actual NASA images collaged with digital illustrations, almost every page turn provides a visual and cosmic surprise. Whether for home or classrooms, Reaching for the Stars is just the kind of book to spark new interest in this popular subject and invite further deep dives at the bookstore or library. – Ronna Mandel, Reviewer at Goodreads with Ronna
