WELCOME, ASTRONAUT, TO THE MISSION OF YOUR LIFE!
Join KATHRYN D. SULLIVAN, three-time shuttle astronaut and the first American woman to walk in space, and celebrated author and artist MICHAEL J. ROSEN, as you report for duty on the NASA space programme. Experience moving in zero gravity, learn how to conduct scientific experiments while in orbit, and practise manoeuvres in your 130-kilogram space suit in the world’s largest pool, until … lift-off!
With dazzling photographs and an astronaut as your guide, the sky is the limit on the spacewalking adventure of your life.
This easy to navigate book will enthrall primary children and beyond as they investigate the real world of astronauts and their search for the stars. * The School Librarian *
A large amount of fascinating factual information is presented, but alongside this we share an empowering account of a woman fulfilling her dreams; it’s one that will surely encourage child readers to live the ‘life you invent’ – to reach for the stars. * Red Reading Hub *
If you want to know what makes up a space suit, you’ll find it here. If you’re interested to know what meteors are, you’ll find it here. And, should you ever find yourself on the verge of taking your own walk in space, you’ll remember the life-saving (and life affirming) tips you will find in-between the covers of this book. * The Letterpress Project *
This is a fantastic work of non-fiction which hugely encourages children to aim for the stars and leaves them inspired and excited about space travel. We are off to play astronauts (again!!) * Mini Travellers Blog *
