We Dream of Space
by Erin Entrada Kelly
I was in college when the Challenger exploded, and I don't relate to the event as "historical" in the way that I do when I read about World War II, but I can appreciate that the events of the 1980s feel that way to young people today. I have students ask for books about the 1980s, much as I would have asked for books about the 1940s. This is a sweet story of siblings finding each other, and themselves, during a time of familial and national upheaval. My family structure was quite different, but I could empathize with each siblings need to be seen & valued. The references to 1980s culture were also endearing to me, since I remember them all very clearly.
