PREORDER SPACE GIRL

Description

From her own nest,

Jessica marvels

at the night sky

and wonders:

Could a sparrow like

 me ever fly all the

 way to the moon?

Exquisitely written and extraordinarily illustrated, Space Girl brings us on Jessica’s journey from her childhood dream of space travel to becoming an astronaut who performs the first all-woman spacewalk!

Inspired by watching a young sparrow learn to fly in her Maine backyard, Jessica decides she, too, will spread her wings. Just like the sparrow, she falters along the way, but she never gives up on her goal.

Flutter,

flap,

flight!
