Book Review: Sadie Soars into Space by Arezu Sarvestani

Sadie Soars into Space by Arezu Sarvestani
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Fun and vividly illustrated mix of rhyme and space facts!

Sadie Soars Into Space is a new children’s picture book about a young girl’s interest in space, the universe, and dreams of one day traveling to distant stars. It is a vividly illustrated and entertaining mix of rhyming narrative and interesting space facts that may surprise readers of any age.

I loved the simple story and the bright colors used, but the details in the illustrations, such as the poster of U.S. astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli gracing Sadie’s bedroom wall, caught my eye and made a big impression. Sadie is joined in her imagined (for now!) adventures by her cat Bucket, who is decked out in a matching spacesuit and helmet. While each page presents another stop on the pair’s tour of our solar system, space facts are cleverly included among the illustrations of planets, moons, and the other assorted heavenly bodies, revealing interesting details that most adults probably don’t know. Each tidbit is one more opportunity to learn and share with the young readers and listeners in your life.

I recommend SADIE SOARS INTO SPACE to those with young readers or read-aloud listeners, especially those who have an interest in space and for inclusion in early STEM classrooms.

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving an Advanced Review Copy via Netgalley.
