Reach for the Stars

This picture book from stellar science communicator and TV host Emily Calandrelli is an affirming, inspiring picture book celebration. This book celebrates that we are all smart enough, strong enough, curious enough, determined enough to learn and explore and practice and work cooperatively—to achieve our dreams and to reach the stars! It's about reinforcing the Space Gal's message that STEM is for everyone. It's got the inspirational qualities of The Wonderful Things You Will Be and I Wish You More and the STEM appeal of A Hundred Billion Trillion Stars and Infinity and Me. It's perfect for gifting for all sorts of milestones: new baby, mother's day, graduation, and beyond!
