Mae Jemison: Awesome Astronaut

I read this book last night with my daughter, who is 7. I believe it was released this year - and I found it a great addition to books for girls about women in science.

At one point she asked me, "Is this a real story?!"

It was amazing to learn about all of Jemison's accomplishments throughout the years - including mastering 4 languages and launching several businesses and organizations.

We desperately need more books like this for our girls!!
