By Markette Sheppard, Charly Palmer (Illustrator)
A rainy day sparks an indoor space adventure beyond imagination.
On a stormy afternoon, a young dreamer defies boredom with a homemade rocket ship. Using a chair, a box, and boundless imagination, he embarks on a cosmic journey. Will his adventure reach the stars, or is there more to discover within his own home? This tale celebrates the limitless creativity of a boy who transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, proving that the sky is never the limit when you dream big.
Rainy summer days are no match for a little astronaut who builds the perfect rocket ship for an indoor space adventure to another galaxy, where the sky is his only limit!
A stormy afternoon and an order from Mom to stay inside are no match for this little dreamer, who uses everyday household items—a rocket chair, a cardboard box, an old dish rag, and a super-duper imagination—to whip up a trip around the universe he won’t soon forget.
My Rainy Day Rocket Ship is a high-spirited, engaging salute to the imagination of Black boys who use their beautiful minds to transform the mundane into the extraordinary, dream out loud, and boldly go where their sky is the only limit.

“This book had potential and beautiful illustrations, but the book's cadence and rhyming were enough off that if felt cumbersome to read aloud.”
