Summary

Blast off into space and get to know Mae Jemison—the first African-American woman to ever go to space—with this fascinating, nonfiction Level 3 Ready-to-Read, part of a new series of biographies about people “you should meet.”

This story tells about Mae Jemison, the first African-American female astronaut! Before she became an astronaut, she went to medical school and joined the Peace Corps. But she never forgot her childhood dream to travel to outer space. So in 1985 she applied to NASA’s astronaut training program. On September 12, 1992, Mae flew into space with six other astronauts aboard the space shuttle Endeavour and made history to follow her dream! [1]

It is the best biography for students of Mae Jemison. Her life is so amazing and inspiring. Best of all she continues to be an ongoing role model today. There is a perfect amount of information which will be both fun and interesting for student readers. The illustrations are absolutely wonderful and engaging. [2]
