From Booklist
Gr. 2-5. This inviting volume from Gateway biography series features Mae Jemison, the first African American woman in space. Aimed at a younger audience than Jemison's autobiographical Find Where the Wind Goes: Moments from My Life (2001), the book concisely presents information about Jemison's youth, education, medical career, Peace Corps experience, NASA training, space flight, college teaching, and public lectures. Illustrated feature sections introduce topics such as space suits, the space shuttle, and the International Space Station. With fairly large type and a photograph on nearly every other page, the presentation looks both readable and colorful. The book ends with short lists of books and Web sites recommended for children as well as a source bibliography. Carolyn Phelan

This review is from: Mae Jemison: Out Of This World (Library Binding)
