She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wanted to be an astronaut. Her mom told her, &#8220;If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.\u201d Little Mae\u2019s curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with her parents&#8217; 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Order online:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-harpercollins-canada wp-block-embed-harpercollins-canada\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"BeNud2C9ma\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.ca\/book-details\/\">Book Details<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Book Details&#8221; &#8212; HarperCollins Canada\" src=\"https:\/\/www.harpercollins.ca\/book-details\/embed\/#?secret=emE5dstzyK#?secret=BeNud2C9ma\" data-secret=\"BeNud2C9ma\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mae Among The Stars\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b_mfdqyBqT8?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From environmentalist and bestselling author Bill McKibben comes a hopeful, inspiring picture book celebrating the power of human cooperation and the beauty of life on Earth, beautifully illustrated by artist Stevie Lewis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13186,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"single-fullwidth.php","format":"image","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[83],"class_list":{"0":"post-13185","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-image","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-children","8":"tag-black-history","9":"post_format-post-format-image"},"aioseo_notices":[],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13185"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13576,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13185\/revisions\/13576"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcaf.nb.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
