Editorial Reviews

Review

“Berne focuses not so much on Tyson’s superstar status but rather on his authentic and enduring sense of wonder: ‘one simple wish Neil has for the future is that all of us, every person on Earth, go outside at night and look up, look up, look up.’ An introduction to an ambassador of the stars.” — Publishers Weekly

“You will be enthralled... an inspiring, interesting, picture biography of a living legend... great for a read aloud.“ — Granite Media

Praise for On a Beam of Light: “A splendid introduction to a man who never stopped questioning.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“Einstein’s lifelong curiosity sings through every page.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“A book as special as its subject.” — Booklist (starred review)

“Richly imagined, beautifully designed, impressionistic biography.” — School Library Journal (starred review)

“Truly amazing.” — Horn Book (starred review)

“Beautifully done...whimsical...What dreams can do.” — New York Times - Editors’ Choice

From the Back Cover

“Everyone should have their mind blown once a day.”

Neil deGrasse Tyson was born curious.

And the secrets of a billion galaxies lay there—waiting for him to explore their cosmic mysteries.

He just had to look up.

Up beyond the city lights, up at the shining stars, up through the Milky Way and past the veil of the night sky.

Follow young Neil’s journey as he discovers the wonders of space, the thrill of science, and the joy in sharing the beauty of our amazing universe.

What I liked about this book is the way it was written. As the reader we are taken on the journey of fascination with the stars and space along with Neil as he might have been experiencing it.

It’s pretty cute, though the biographical style gets long for my 4yo. I wish it had some activities and some shorter/catchier phrasing. NDT is awesome though!
