Review

What a wonderful read with an important message for our children. Our imagination has the power to take us to the stars and even beyond.

Rylee uses her imagination to create a trip to Mars with her adorable puppy Cosmo. The spectacular illustrations and musical rhymes make the journey even more fun.

I hope we can follow Rylee on her imaginative journey to the point where she becomes an actual astronaut. For now, she is incredibly well-informed and driven.
D. O'Brien

3..2..1..Lift off! Follow Rylee as she dreams of adventuring to Mars with her pup Cosmo. The wonderful rhymes lead you through the story of her building her rocket as she explains all there is to do and what they will see on their adventure. A beautifully illustrated book and a wonderful story our house loves to read.
Melissa A.

Rylee wants to go to Mars. She maps out her plans for a new rover and way to go past the moon to accomplish her goals and then gets to work building it. This book is full of cute illustrations. It sends the message that young girls can achieve their dreams through hard work and planning. The story is written in rhyming verse and is a very catchy, fun read.
Sarah R.

As a teacher, finding good STEM literature is extremely difficult, especially literature that is engaging for younger readers. Oftentimes, books either make the moon and stars soft and sweet for kids and third graders need more than that! When I look for "heavier" literature, I find books that are over their heads. This book has all the components necessary to be a wonderful story to share with your class or future astronauts. If you are a fan of Rosie Revere, Engineer, and other fun, educational stories, this is your book!
Terri

This is my first read of Ms Dickinson, and I am blown away.

What a fun read, while also being very educational.
This book is perfect for girls to see they can be anything, including engineers, astronauts, or rocket scientists.
This book is perfect for children to learn a ton about Mars.
This book is perfect for children to see preparation is key for any endeavor they want to pursue.
This book is perfect for children to see many different forms of science.

On top of all of that, the story is adorable. A little girl has a dream of traveling to Mars, with her dog companion of course. In beautiful rhyme (which I'm always a sucker for), she shares her passion, enthusiasm, and dedication to making that dream come true. Reading along, your eyes are treated to vibrant and fun illustrations that can't (and won't) be ignored. They are as much a part of the story as the words themselves.

I am absolutely enthralled, and you will be too!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

At the heart of my work in children’s literature lies a deep passion for inspiring young minds and fostering a love of reading.

I believe that stories have the power to shape perspectives, ignite imaginations, and promote empathy among children.

Through my writing, I strive to create engaging narratives that celebrate diversity, individuality, and the beauty of friendship.

My books incorporate essential themes of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) and SEL (Social-Emotional Learning), emphasizing kindness, acceptance, diversity, building friendships, and the power of self-confidence.

Writing children’s books is a rewarding journey that allows me to connect with young readers and their families. Each story is an opportunity to explore important lessons that resonate with the hearts and minds of children, helping them navigate the world with confidence and compassion.

Join me in this adventure of storytelling, where every page turned is a step toward understanding, acceptance, and joy.
