Description

A universal story about speaking, listening, and being heard.

Margot loves space. Astronauts, the stars, and especially the moon landing. So she can鈥檛 understand why all of her attempts to communicate her passion fall on disinterested ears. Her mom is patient but distracted; her classmates would rather play kickball; and her teacher just wants her to focus and pay attention in class. Even so, Margot wishes she never had to talk about anything but space ever again.

When she wakes up one morning and discovers she can only recite Neil Armstrong鈥檚 famous speech from the moon landing, Margot realizes she has an even bigger problem. How can Margot get everyone to pay attention and鈥攎ore importantly鈥攖o hear what she鈥檚 really trying to say? This powerful picture book debut plays with themes of listening and communication to highlight the importance of a space of one鈥檚 own, no matter what your passion may be.

鈥淎 great book to help children understand and express their feelings.鈥� 

- Youth Services Book Review, 12/31/19

鈥淭his is a great book for children who like to dream big or love outer space. The soft, inviting illustrations expressively depict Margot鈥檚 emotions and imagination, and it鈥檚 wonderful to see a brown-skinned girl at the center of this STEM-based story.鈥�
