Rocket Says Look Up!

Product Information

An extra !!!! for the illustrator's nonsense about how he creates "art that challenges assumptions about gender, race and ethnicity in a fun and upbeat way." Perhaps that's what he does in his unpublished work, but there's no challenge here, except to guess which computer software he uses to create utterly ho-hum art like this. As my assistant, a truly talented artist commented: "Whenever you give me a pile of picture books to look at, 5 or 6 of them look like this."

Obviously kids you show an intrest in exploration should be encouraged, but phones are certainly not evil. The sister-brother relationship was a bit awkward probably because of the huge difference in years, but Jamal does show that he cares for his sister! The ending with the two of them just made me smile. These children's books are a brilliant way to get your child excited about the science and mythology of the moon.And, most important of all, these books are just a fun way to think and talk about space! Wait, so the point of this book in the end is cellphones are bad? I'm very confused. It's a book about an adorable little girl who's super knowlegable about space and is super pumped to see an asteroid shower. I love that! But then it kind of morphs into a PSA to older kids/teens to stop looking at their cellphones and live in the now..? :/ NATHAN BRYON is a British actor and writer who has written for BAFTA Award-winning children's TV shows.

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.

I spotted this book over at the library (in Dutch) and just had to take it home with me. It looked adorable and I also cannot resist books about space!
