In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Mae Jemison, scientist, astronaut and the first ever black woman in
space. When Mae Jemison was a little girl, she dreamed of blasting
off into space on a rocket ship. She was so excited as she watched
the Apollo Moon landings, but she wondered... why none of the
astronauts were women? Mae loved science and was so bright that she
started college at just 16, and was training to be a doctor by the
age of 20. She joined the Peace Corps, using her medical knowledge
to help people in countries all around the world. Upon returning to
the United States, she was accepted into NASA's astronaut program.
After hard work and training, in 1992 Mae became the first Black
woman to travel into space! This inspiring book features stylish
and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the groundbreaking astronaut's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS

reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The hardback versions present
expanded stories for beginning readers. Boxed gift sets allow you

other fun learning tools provide even more ways to make the lives
of these role models accessible to children. Inspire the next
