Mae Jemison: First Black Woman in Space is a lively children's biography about a curious girl who loved both science and dance-and grew up to become a doctor, engineer, and astronaut.

Written in clear, kid-friendly language for ages 3-8 this short chapter book follows Mae from asking big questions to soaring above Earth, then returning home to help the next generation dream even bigger.

What kids will read:

Learn: curiosity, notebooks, simple experiments, and the power of practice
Apply: turning ideas into projects, teamwork, and helping others
Train: habits, calm under pressure, simulators, and underwater "space" practice
Launch: countdown, life in orbit, and working with a trusted crew
Give Back: mentoring, community, and taking the next small step

Why families and teachers love it:

Shows STEM and the arts working together-creativity and science on the same team
Encourages growth mindset, perseverance, and kindness
Short sections, vivid scenes, and "new words to know" make learning natural
Perfect for classrooms, libraries, and family reading time

Read-aloud ages 3-8; independent readers 8-12.

This inspiring true story invites young readers to see many paths to one purpose: use what you learn, help your team, and keep reaching-because big dreams can take flight.
