<b>A heartwarming picture book tale of the power of the small, from bestselling author and retired NASA astronaut Commander Mark Kelly.</b><br><br>Astronaut Mark Kelly flew with "mice-tronauts" on his first spaceflight aboard space shuttle <i>Endeavour</i> in 2001. <i>Mousetronaut</i> tells the story of a small mouse that wants nothing more than to travel to outer space. The little mouse works as hard as the bigger mice to show readiness for the mission . . . and is chosen for the flight! While in space, the astronauts are busy with their mission when disaster strikes - and only the smallest member of the crew can save the day. With lively illustrations by award-winning artist C. F. Payne, <i>Mousetronaut </i>is a charming tale of perseverance, courage, and the importance of the small!
