"Experience the
thrill of seeing your first meteor again . . .
In this beautifully
illustrated book, a father takes his daughter to see her first-ever
meteor shower. Along the way we learn a bit about the people and
animals that come out after dark. Rockliff's book concludes with a
recipe for comet cookies, fun facts about meteor showers, and tips for
hosting your own meteor-watching party."Sky

My next picture book, The Busiest Street in Town, is
being illustrated by the fabulous Sarah
McMenemy. The book is due out from Knopf in fall 2009.
Pieces of Another World has been made into a planetarium show! Ask your local planetarium to request the show, called "Comet Crumbs," from Atlanta's Fernbank Science Center.
