Reviews

We Are All Astronauts is a beautiful celebration of female achievements and diversity throughout the history of human spaceflight. It is equally informative and fun. It encourages children, especially young girls, to dream big and to hold onto those dreams. * Hayley Arceneaux - commercial astronaut on the SpaceX mission *
WE ARE ALL ASTRONAUTS is a delightful book! Its engaging design fosters a sense of exploration and adventure. I was surprised at how much information is packed into its pages. Children will love this book while they learn about exploring space. * Loretta Hall, author of Wally Funks memoir, Higher, Faster, Longer: My Life in Aviation and My Quest for Spaceflight *
We Are All Astronauts is a fantastic book for youngsters who want to learn about astronauts, space travel and space. I really like the energetic illustrations that just pop and fizz off the page and love how it is crammed full of facts. * Dominic Walliman, author of the Professor Astro Cat series *
