Astrid has loved the stars and space for as long as she can remember. “I want to be an astronaut!” she says to everyone who will listen. While her mama is away, Astrid and her papa have fun acting out the challenges an astronaut faces on a space mission — like being in zero gravity (“I can do that all day long!” she says), eating food from a kind of tube, and doing science experiments with the help of cookie sheets. When at last it’s time to meet Mama at the air base, Astrid wears her favorite space T-shirt to greet her. But where exactly has Mama been? Channeling a sense of childlike delight, Ken Wilson-Max brings space travel up close for young readers and offers an inspiring ending.

Brian ★★★★★

We read it every night now—my four-year-old loves how Astrid’s space dreams feel so real, and the part where they act out her adventures always gets her giggling. The illustrations and story hit that sweet spot between imaginative and grounded, perfect for bedtime.

Brian ★★★★★

The way Astrid and her papa turn everyday moments into space adventures feels so true to childhood. My son asked to read it three times in a row, and we giggled at every role-play scene together.

Madison ★★★★★

My daughter squealed with delight when we reached the page where Astrid and her papa pretend to blast off—the imaginative play in this story is exactly what she needed after a long day. The illustrations really capture that dreamy night-sky feeling, and it's become our go-to bedtime read this week.
