To Space and Back

Astronaut Sally Ride shares the adventures of outer space with the help of Susan Okie. “I wrote this book because I wanted to answer some of the questions that young people ask of astronauts. Many of the questions are about feelings, and one that now may have added meaning, ‘Is it scary?’” “Ride’s zest for the adventure (of space flight) comes through clearly, making this a book that can be read aloud to young children, please an adult, or inspire anyone in between.” –School Library Journal, Starred Review
