"If You Were Me and Lived on Mars allows you to think into the future, maybe the year 2054 when you might be able to walk on the planet, Mars." - Midwest Book Review "Reading this book took me back to my childhood. There were some things that I had forgotten, with one being that Mars is called the "Red Planet." Mars was named after the Greek and Roman god of war. Mars was given this name because of its appearance in the sky, but in actuality it's the dust from the Martian rocks that gives it the red hue. " - Vernita Naylor for Readers' Favorite Five Stars "...Roman lets readers imagine themselves as future Mars colonists in the year 2054. Using conditional phrasing and writing in second person, Roman balances a sense of adventure with nitty-gritty details of what readers might expect to see, do, and encounter during their time on Mars..." - Publishers Weekly "There is no doubt that If You Were Me and Lived On ... Mars will make an excellent addition to the home library of any young astronomer. How many readers of this book will, indeed, end up visiting Mars? While we can't answer that question, we do know it will inspire many to dream of it." - The Children's Book Review" " This easily digestible, signature mix of textbook fact and Roman's relatable, conversational style provides readers with an engaging way into the subject of space exploration, which is only deepened by a back-of-book pronunciation guide and glossary of terms... A book that will expand readers' horizons with its scientific foray into the solar system." Kirkus Review "As with the other books, the authors uses the scenario that you live with you parents and describes what live would be like. In this book, you go to Mars with your parents where your father is a scientist who is helping farm the red planet, and your mother is a doctor. This is another fun and educational book that is ideal to read with your children or grandchildren." - Long and Short Review "For this imagined book to be possible, all of us on this planet now need to aware of the facts of what we now know about Mars to make this dream a reality." - Teri Davis Reviews "The pictures held their attention and what we read about brought up many thought provoking questions from them..." - Treasuring Life's Blessings "Though the tale is fictional, it contains enough factual information about astronomy to make it a good addition to the classroom science shelf. The glossary with its pronunciation guides also adds valuable educational content. A spiky, hard-to-read font on the back cover is the only point of distraction.Illustrator Marteya Arkova's gorgeous artwork neatly captures this otherworldly adventure. Each page is a symphony of dusty orange Martian soil contrasted with a deep azure sky and smudgy atmosphere. Her Puckish children are enticing ambassadors for space travel and the further exploration of scientific topics. If You Were Me and Lived on....Mars is an enchanting imagined journey to the Red Planet." - Rachel Jagerski, Foreword Review Five Stars "The reader will follow a futuristic family as they travel through outerspace to Mars. The detailed art allows the vivid imagination of children to imagine what life on Mars might really be like." - Patricia "Lemon Bee" Dompieri, RN If You Were Me and Lived on...
