A beautiful picture book for sharing and marking special occasions

woman to travel in space, Mae Jemison. An Amazon Best Book of the
Month!
A great classroom and bedtime read-aloud, Mae Among the Stars is the
perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger
hearts.
When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She
imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and
discovering.
She wanted to be an astronaut.
Her mom told her, "If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is
possible."
Little Mae's curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with
her parents' encouraging words, paved the way for her incredible success
at NASA as the first African American woman to travel in space.
This book will inspire other young girls to reach for the stars, to
aspire for the impossible, and to persist with childlike imagination.
