Mae Among the Stars Hardcover by Roda Ahmed

A beautiful story inspired by Mae Jemison, the first African American Woman to travel in space.
When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering.

Little Mae is a girl with big dreams, a supportive loving family, unbounded passion, and all the right stuff to dance among the stars. Against all odds, she will overcome any obstacle to become an astronaut one day.

This hardcover picture book, written by debut author Roda Ahmed and illustrated by Stasia Burrington, is not the typical picture book biography. It's accessible and bursts with color—which makes it perfect for the young readers who too have big dreams and even bigger hearts! Timely and inspiring, this book is a tribute to a woman whose belief and tenacity turned her into a modern-day hero. Mae's story will inspire children to persevere, even in the face of douBottle, and remind them that, if you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.
