Every morning Papa combs through his daughter's waves like he does
his own -- parting it down the middle, using coconut oil to get all
the tangles out. Some days he braids her hair in two twists down
the side of her face. Other days he weaves it into one long braid
hanging down her back, just like a unicorn tail. But her favorite
style is when he combs her hair in a tight bun on the top of her
head, just like the joora he wears every day under his turban. They
call this their hair twin look!

Inspired by the #1 New York Times bestseller She Persisted by
Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger comes a chapter book series
about women who spoke up and rose up against the odds--including
Kalpana Chawla! Born and raised in India, Kalpana Chawla was
discouraged from pursuing a career in aeronautical engineering
because there were limited career options for women in that field.
But she persisted, getting her degree and then moving to the US to
obtain other, more advanced education before joining NASA and
becoming the first Indian-born woman to go to space. Though she was
killed in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, she continues to
inspire girls in India and around the world to pursue their dreams
of spaceflight. In this chapter book biography by acclaimed author
Raakhee Mirchandani, readers learn about the amazing life of
Kalpana Chawla--and how she persisted. Complete with an
introduction from Chelsea Clinton, black-and-white illustrations
throughout, and a list of ways that readers can follow in Kalpana
Chawla's footsteps and make a difference! A perfect choice for kids
who love learning and teachers who want to bring inspiring women
into their curriculum. And don't miss out on the rest of the books
in the She Persisted series, featuring so many more women who
persisted, including Sally Ride, Temple Grandin, Malala Yousafzai,
and more!
