Everyone was once a child with a dream. That is why there seems to always be a new person to feature in this series for young children. As usual, this book tells the story of a successful person who had to work their way toward their goals.
Here, readers get to meet Mae Jemison. Young Mae knew that she wanted to travel to the stars. She also understood that no one who looked like her had become an astronaut in real life, even if they had on TV. Well, she became the first and made history. She also did so much before going to NASA, studying engineering and becoming a doctor, volunteering for the Peace Corps and more. Find out about her in this charmingly illustrated latest title by Ms. Sanchez Vegara.
