Illustrated by
Edel Rodriguez.
This picture book biography focuses on Nimoy's upbringing in an observant Jewish household in Boston, his rise to fame on Star Trek, and the backstory behind that famous "Live long and prosper" Vulcan hand symbol. Michelson's text is warm and anecdotal. Rodriguez's unfussy illustrations, in sepia browns and out-of-this-world blues, reflect both the time period and the Trekkie universe.
