What happens when a tiny rocket with a giant dream decides the sky is not the limit?
Meet the Little Rocket — a small but mighty adventurer who refuses to give up on his dream of reaching the moon. When his own engines just can't get him out of the atmosphere, he hatches a clever plan to soar into the stars!
A mischievous, laugh-out-loud cosmic caper that will have children and adults giggling from liftoff to landing — and back again
Born from a real bedtime story told during one family's most difficult chapters, The Little Rocket is more than just a silly space adventure. It's a reminder that laughter, imagination, and a little bit of mischief can light up even the darkest of days. With its playful humor, lovable characters, and a story that celebrates never giving up, this book is destined to become a cherished bedtime classic for families everywhere.
WARNING: This book contains moon hiney spanking. May cause spontaneous giggling.
Perfect for ages 2–8 (and honestly, for anyone who still believes a good giggle can save the day).
From the Author:
"A little bit about where this book came from...
A few years ago, our family went through the hardest chapter of our lives. When my daughter Layla was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma and going through chemo, my wife Jenn and I would trade off days at the hospital. On the nights I came home, I’d power through the bedtime routine — feeding the boys, bath time, teeth, pajamas — and by the time they were in bed, I was completely spent. Too exhausted to read with the lights on, I started making up stories in the dark.
This story became their absolute favorite. When we got to the surprise, the boys would go completely still in anticipation... and then absolutely lose it. Deep belly laughs that lingered for minutes but felt like an eternity. It made everything feel normal again — like all the weight of the day just melted away. Layla would crack up when I told the story during our bedtime routine at home and told me I had to make this a real book.
After months of telling it, it became a staple in our house. I promised all three of them I’d publish it someday. It took some time to have illustrated and ready to be published, but we got there.
I’m finally keeping that promise.
This story has no big lesson. It’s simple, light, and a little bit silly — and that was exactly the point. Sometimes kids (and parents) just need to laugh.
Lastly, this book has imagery of a cartoon rocket spanking a cartoon moon's hiney, if that's not for you, you might want to pass on this one. But the kids love it! Thanks so much for your support!"
