This is a wonderful picture book by Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield. The story of the main character, a young boy named Chris, is based on Hadfield's own childhood dream of becoming an astronaut. This is the kind of picture book my kids would have loved and it would have surely become a family favourite. The overlying theme is that dreams can come true, especially if one is willing to work hard to make it so.
For such a short story, there's a lot going on in this book. The artwork, by the Fan brothers, is great and there are lots of different things to pick up by looking closely at the pictures. There is also a short biography of Hadfield at the end of the book, as well as a page of photographs.
This is a great picture book, that any family with young children should add to their shelves.
