Enter Granny, who’s about to teach Luna just how to make her dream a reality. From discovering what shooting stars are really made of and learning how to complete a spacewalk, to rocket building lessons by Mary Jackson and space shuttle trips with Mae Jemison– Luna and her Granny take us on a crash course adventure into how to become a successful astronaut. Meeting incredible female space pioneers along the way, Granny takes Luna on a fact-filled space adventure showing her that ANYONE can be an astronaut if they dream big enough. In fact, just by standing on planet Earth, you’re already closer than you think... From Kate Pankhurst, award-winning creator of FANTASTICALLY GREAT WOMEN, this is the first in a new series tackling popular non-fiction topics in fun new ways. Inspiring young readers to aim high, dream big and see that they too can reach for the stars!
We Are All Astronauts is a beautiful celebration of female achievements and diversity throughout the history of human spaceflight. It is equally informative and fun. It encourages children, especially young girls, to dream big and to hold onto those dreams. * Hayley Arceneaux - commercial astronaut on the SpaceX mission *
WE ARE ALL ASTRONAUTS is a delightful book! Its engaging design fosters a sense of exploration and adventure. I was surprised at how much information is packed into its pages. Children will love this book while they learn about exploring space. * Loretta Hall, author of Wally Funk’s memoir, Higher, Faster, Longer: My Life in Aviation and My Quest for Spaceflight’ *
We Are All Astronauts is a fantastic book for youngsters who want to learn about astronauts, space travel and space. I really like the energetic illustrations that just pop and fizz off the page and love how it is crammed full of facts. * Dominic Walliman, author of the Professor Astro Cat series *
It’s great to show girls (and boys) that even fifty years ago, women were working as engineers and mathematicians and helping to put humans into space and on the Moon. This book will help all girls dream big and aim high. Space is for everyone. * Sue Nelson, author of Wally Funk's Race for Space *
Pitched as “STEM by stealth”, this celebration of female pioneers like Mae Jamison is told via the story of Luna, who is desperate to explore the cosmos. A quintessential Pankhurst title. * The Bookseller *
