I love Mae Jemison, and so I was very excited about this book. The illustrations are beautiful, and dreamy, setting the tone of the book and it's message of following your dream. The writing was disappointing and the focus of a young girls dream rather than a young woman's hard work was a let down. ( )

Beautifully illustrated story of the first African American woman to travel in space
