Join Aurora and her faithful dog, Sirius, as they gaze out the window at the vast night sky. Aurora isn't just watching the stars-she is studying them. When a shooting star streaks past, her scientific curiosity takes flight, and she blasts off in a homemade rocket on an adventure to find the North Star.

But space is big. When alarms start to beep and the rocket begins to shudder, Aurora's tummy flutters with anxiety. Guided by her goal and the comforting hugs of Sirius, Aurora must find the inner courage to overcome her fear.

This heartwarming picture book is a gentle story about overcoming fear, embracing curiosity, and the enduring friendship between a girl and her dog. Part of the "Aurora's Cosmic Adventures" series, this STEM-focused tale is the perfect bedtime story to inspire young people in science.
