Illustrated by
Stasia Burrington.
Young Mae Jemison's parents encourage her dreams of being an astronaut, but her teacher suggests that Mae consider becoming a nurse instead. Inspired by the childhood of the first African American woman in space, this fictionalized picture book should inspire young readers to believe in and work hard for their dreams despite obstacles. The ink and digital illustrations capture Mae's enthusiasm and determination. Author's note included.
