Reach for Maisy's Rocket when your toddler is oscillating between a desire for big, 'grown-up' adventures and the need for the security of their evening routine. This book is perfect for calming the 'zoomies' before bed by validating a child's high energy while gently steering them toward the quiet steps of self-care. It transforms the daunting concept of space travel into a series of relatable, manageable moments. Lucy Cousins uses her signature bold, primary-colored illustrations to take Maisy and her friend Cyril on a journey to a space station.
