This is unfortunately rare in children’s picture books. It is such a visually stunning book that tells the story of a little boy who, on a rainy day, creates his own rocket ship, from everyday household items! I personally love that the book shares the story of a black boy (and his father) as the main character.

Multicultural crayons are a perfect way to let your littles create diverse skin tones. Let your littles draw a mini Mae in the rocket ship window. Mae Jemison! I helped Raegan cut holes in a piece of construction paper, and we used glue to put the girls inside. We decided to take photos of them and place them inside of their rocket ships, as they pretended to be just like Dr. Raegan and Zarie got really fun mini instant cameras for Christmas. Go dig into your craft bin and see what supplies your little can use to dream up a mini galaxy. They used bottles of glow-in-the-dark puff paint to create stars and moons and planets to their crafty little solar system. Other than that, I let them do their own thing. In my attempt to add in some shape reinforcement, I asked Zarie and Raegan to name the shapes aloud, as we went along. We used some simple art supplies to recreate her rocket ship. It speaks about her dreaming about dancing in space, and how she’s powered toward that dream with determination, intelligence and encouragement from her parents. We read Mae Among the Stars by Roda Ahmed, and illustrated by Stasia Burrington, often. She is an engineer, physician and former NASA astronaut–a true American trailblazer and role model. Mae Jemison, the first Black woman to travel into space. Our first craft is in celebration of a Black History legend, and the second is in celebration of a Black male protagonist and his family! Dr. I am excited to share two fun craft ideas with you today.
