My 5 year old wants to be bald
Months later my son is still saying that he wants to shave his head. I say “you don’t have to be bald to be an astronaut, there are plenty of astronauts with hair” and he says “no, I don’t want any hair bc I want to be like that one astronaut, my favorite” I say “like Scott Kelly? Well, he’s bald but you don’t have to be” but my 5 year old insists he wants to be bald like Scott. Lol great book, very relatable, my son is having some challenges in kindergarten and I think he really looks up to Scott bc he can relate to what was said in the book.

Highly recommended for all ages
Was an educational and entertaining read for me and my four year old. Liked the use of both the beautiful illustrations and the real photographs from Kelly's family.

Mixed feelings
I bought this for my 5 year old grandson but haven't given it too him. I understand Mr. Kelly is trying to be honest about life's bad parts too and show how they build character, but I don't need my grandson to read about how his parents fought and that he is divorced and lives with his girlfriend.

Great message for all ages!
I teach third grade and came across an article on Newsela about Scott Kelly and his experience on the ISS. It was so interesting for my students and prompted me to look up his book. It is wonderfully written for kids and has a mix of beautiful illustrations and photos. The theme comes through loud and clear: Our greatest challenges can become our greatest strengths. I can't wait to read it to my students this week!
