Mousetronaut: Based on a (Partially) True Story (The Mousetronaut Series)

A #1 New York Times bestseller

â€œThis little mouse may well inspire some big dreams.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews

â€œIn this picture book based on the space shuttle Endeavorâ€¦Meteor is one of the smallest mice, but the most hardworkingâ€¦the values of being small, useful, solving problems, and working hardâ€”as opposed to being big and strongâ€”will inspire young readers.â€ â€”School Library Journal

â€œInspired by this real-life mouse, Kellyâ€™s first childrenâ€™s book tells the story of Meteor, a lightly anthropomorphized rodent who turns his tininess into an advantage when an important key gets stuck in a crack between two monitorsâ€¦textured images and vivid portraits that make it absolutely clear that space travel is a larger-than-life adventure.â€ â€”Publishers Weekly

A heartwarming picture book tale of the power of the small, from bestselling author and retired NASA astronaut Commander Mark Kelly.

Astronaut Mark Kelly flew with â€œmice-tronautsâ€ on his first spaceflight aboard space shuttle Endeavour in 2001. Mousetronaut tells the story of a small mouse that wants nothing more than to travel to outer space. The little mouse works as hard as the bigger mice to show readiness for the mission . . . and is chosen for the flight! While in space, the astronauts are busy with their mission when disaster strikesâ€”and only the smallest member of the crew can save the day. With lively illustrations by award-winning artist C. F. Payne, Mousetronaut is a charming tale of perseverance, courage, and the importance of the small!
