An Amazon Best Book of the Month
A beautiful picture book for sharing, inspired by the life of the first African American woman to travel in space, Mae Jemison.
A great classroom and bedtime read-aloud, Mae Among the Stars is the perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger hearts!
When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering.
She wanted to be an astronaut.
Her mom told her, “If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.”
Little Mae’s curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with her parents’ encouraging words, paved the way for her incredible success at NASA as the first African American woman to travel in space.
This book will inspire other young girls to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to persist with childlike imagination.

Uplifting story Bought this to help teach my kids during Black History Month. Such a sweet and empowering book. I have 2 boys, but I like them to remove gender and race bias and I hope books showing strong intelligent black women can do that.
Now she tells everyone she meets that she wants to be an astronaut like Mae Jemison My two-year-old read about Mae in her beloved Women Scientist book so when I saw this, I knew I had to get it. Now she tells everyone she meets that she wants to be an astronaut like Mae Jemison. This book is beautifully illustrated and simply written. I love it just as much as my future astronaut!
Inspiring and impactful We love this book. It is so beautiful and inspiring. My youngest is so inspired by Maeâs story and canât get enough now about space. What a great role model and leader for the African American community. We adore this book and story.
