About the Author
John Herrington holds the distinction of being the first enrolled member of a Native American tribe to fly in space. An active and dedicated citizen of the Chickasaw Nation, he was inducted into the Chickasaw Nation Hall of Fame in 2002. Since his space flight, he has led efforts to broaden public awareness of the importance of space travel and has worked to increase interest and opportunities in math and science education among Native American children and youth. He earned a doctorate in education from the University of Idaho in 2014.
From School Library Journal
K-Gr 4—This remarkable picture book is written by a Chickasaw American Indian astronaut and educator. Using personal photos from his childhood and recent training at NASA, Herrington re-creates the process through which astronauts prepare for space. The title opens with a snapshot of a young Herrington, his brother, and his father smiling as they await the launch of a toy rocket blastoff. The opposite page contrasts this image with a photo of the space shuttle Endeavor at blastoff. Herrington's enthusiasm is palpable, and space-crazy readers will appreciate the insider view of NASA training sessions. The author seamlessly integrates information about his heritage with photos of Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby presenting a blanket to NASA and dancers celebrating Herrington's launch. The volume concludes with Herrington at the International Space Station. A special bonus is a glossary of Chickasaw and English words, with pronunciations. VERDICT A valuable addition to STEM collections, especially as it centers on a Chickasaw American Indian astronaut.—Naomi Caldwell, Alabama State University, Montgomery
