nice, not in love with the pictures though, especially because they make the kid look like a baby but the text makes her seem a little older

A little girl wants to become an astronaut, so does astronaut activities all day with her dad; making rocket cookies, being thrown in the air to experience zero G, and more. At the end of the day her mom comes home and it is revealed she wants to become an astronaut to be just like her mom.
This book can help inspire girls and people of color to join STEM fields and helps to represent career mothers and stay-at-home dads.

Astrid has dreamed of space for as long as she can remember and her bedroom is full of items that celebrate this passion. She tells her best friend Jake that one day she could love to be an astronaut and she promises him that she'll bring him back a piece of asteroid when she becomes one.
When she shares this passion with her dad, he throws her around the room and lists all the things she'll need to be able to do if she really wants to be an astronaut: fly around Earth; eat food from packets; float in zero-gravity. Nothing phases Astrid though and she accepts the challenges! Why? The answer becomes clear when both her and her dad go and pick up mum from work. With a big hug at the end of the day, Mum cuddles her daughter straight after she leaves her space rocket.
I love Ken Wilson-Max's illustrations in all his work. Heavy, thick acrylics fill the pages and draw the reader in (I especially loved the black dog). It's lovely to see a story in which girls have great aspirations and Wilson-Max builds on this with a spread at the end about space and other famous female astronauts. I also liked Dad being the primary carer whilst mum went to work. Although not a complaint, I wish the dedication had been 'to all children' who dream of exploring the stars rather than 'just girls': then you really would be normalising the idea.

Great story, featuring a little girl who dreams of going to space. As she goes through her day, she thinks about challenges she will face as an astronaut.
I particularly enjoyed the way she is spending time with/interacting with her father in the story.
A good story for pre-k-2nd featuring a curious girl, a supportive father, and a STEM professional mother.
They include some fun facts and introduce the readers to some female astronauts, which is a big plus in my enjoyment.
Recommended for primary grades and as a read together for younger.

This adorable picture book shows a little girl excited to become an astronaut one day as she and her daddy talk about the things astronauts have to do, like science experiments and living in zero gravity. Back matter includes short bios on a handful of female astronauts from around the world. This is a great women-in-STEM title for the youngest readers. Pair with MAE AMONG THE STARS for another story of girls dreaming of the stars.
