From childhood, Sally Ride was a daring adventurer, and her parents encouraged her to pursue the things she loved. Those things included science and math, fast rides, and the stars in the sky. Eventually her passions and her hard work led her to NASA, where she became the country's first female astronaut, inspiring generations of young people to follow their own dreams of space exploration.
This inspiring book from the Ordinary People Change the World series series tells the story of the first American woman to fly in space. With appealing artwork by Christopher Eliopolous and a timeline and photos at the back, it's the perfect tribute to Sally Ride's belief that there's no limit to what you can achieve!
