Little People, Big Dreams: Mae Jemison
Discover the extraordinary life of Mae Jemison, the scientist, doctor and trailblazing astronaut who became the first Black woman to travel into space. As a little girl, Mae dreamed of soaring through the stars, watching the Apollo Moon landings with excitement - and wondering why none of the astronauts looked like her.
Brilliant, curious and determined, Mae raced ahead in her studies, starting college at just sixteen and training as a doctor by twenty. Her desire to help others took her around the world with the Peace Corps, where she used her medical skills to support communities in need. But Mae never let go of her childhood dream. When she returned to the United States, she applied to NASA - and after years of dedication and training, she finally blasted into space in 1992.
This beautifully illustrated Little People, BIG DREAMS biography introduces young readers to Mae’s inspiring journey - a celebration of courage, possibility and the power of dreaming big. With extra facts, a timeline and historical photos, it’s a stellar addition to any child’s bookshelf.
