Everything finally ready, the boy persuades his mother to turn off the lights. Goggles transform into a space helmet and clothing used in odd ways create his spacesuit. His white and brown pug looks on, following his boy as he prepares for take-off. The nameless young boy is home with only his parents, no siblings, or friends to join in his wild imagination. Gathers up useful toys and household items the young boy, transforms them into a rocket ship and all the astronaut equipment he’ll need in space-and to land once his mission is complete. Looking at this system of planets, the young boy decides he wants to venture off to a new galaxy, somewhere in outer space. A red, white, and blue rocket, trailing multi-colored flames, catches his eye. In the young boy’s room hangs a brightly colored planetary system. Looking at his toys, but deciding he’d played with them enough, the young, nameless child decides he wants something new to build something challenging something in a new location. Stuck inside all day, thanks to a long rainy day, a young boy of color must decide how to entertain himself.
Dig deeper and see a celebration of a little boy’s imagination and all the ways he uses it to transform the mundane into the extraordinary as he dreams out loud. With rich artwork by award-winning fine artist Charly Palmer, Markette Sheppard weaves a rhythmic read-aloud that celebrates the soaring ingenuity of a child who refuses to let boredom outdo his inventiveness.
Rainy days are no match for this little astronaut, who uses everyday household items-and his super imagination-to build the perfect rocket ship for an indoor space adventure to another galaxy, where the ski is his only limit.
