A beautiful picture book for sharing and marking special occasions such as graduation, inspired by the life of the first African American woman to travel in space, Mae Jemison. An desertcart Best Book of the Month! A great classroom and bedtime read-aloud, Mae Among the Stars is the perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger hearts. When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering. She wanted to be an astronaut. Her mom told her, "If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.'' Little Mae''s curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with her parents'' encouraging words, paved the way for her incredible success at NASA as the first African American woman to travel in space. This book will inspire other young girls to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to persist with childlike imagination. Review: Well read - Lovely story.

great story line
The story line is inspiring; and the courage of the little girl and her mother will give confidence to children to live their dreams. The illustrations add power to the stories further that shows the father working in the kitchen and serving the girl and her mother. That is how patriarchy and racism can be challenged.

LOVE kid approved
My child absolutely loves Mae Among the Stars! The story is inspiring, engaging, and encourages kids to dream big and believe in themselves. It has quickly become one of our favorite books to read together. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and bring the story to life on every page. The artwork is colorful, detailed, and does a wonderful job capturing children's attention. My child enjoys looking at the pictures just as much as listening to the story. This is a heartwarming book with a positive message and stunning illustrations. I highly recommend it for any family looking to add an uplifting and beautifully illustrated book to their collection. 📚✨🌟

Mutmachgeschichte für Kinder, die Diskriminierung erfahren haben (sozial, ethisch, optisch...)
Authentische Geschichte, da sie eine wahre Biographie widergibt. Gut geeignet um Kindern, die auch Diskriminierung erfahren haben, Mut zu machen, dieser Diskriminierung zu trotzen, keinen Glauben zu schenken, auch Autoritäten nicht! Jedoch auch schön gefunden hätte ich, wenn diese Biographie ohne diese Dramaturgie erzählt würde, dass man der Protagonistin Nichts zutraute, da sie eine Schwarze ist, und sie sich darum extra anstrengen musste um es doch allen beweisen zu können, dass in ihr Großes steckt und allen, die sich dies nicht vorstellen konnten deren Irrtum zu zeigen. Ich möchte meiner Tochter einfach erzählen können, diese Frau ist Astronautin geworden, das wollte sie schon als Kind und hat ihren Traum verwirklicht (und dabei kann sie sich anhand der Illustrationen ein Bild von dem Mädchen und der Frau machen und sich mit ihr ggf identifizieren).
