She Went to Space
Maine Astronaut Jessica Meir
Description
In 2019, Maine native and NASA astronaut Jessica Meir participated in the first all-female spacewalk, an historic honor she'd been preparing for since first grade, when she drew a picture of an astronaut standing on the moon. This book for young readers follows Meir's career as a marine biologist, physiologist, and astronaut. Filled with stunning photography from earth and beyond, it is an inspiration for girls (and boys) enthralled by science and exploration.
