About this item

A full-color picture book biography about Bonnie Dunbar, a young girl who made her dream of going to space a reality through hard work and determination -- includes several hands-on science experiments for real-world learning connections. When Bonnie Dunbar spotted Sputnik traveling across the sky from where she stood on her family's farm, she knew that's what she wanted to do when she got older. In Space Adventurer: Bonnie Dunbar, Astronaut, readers ages 5 to 8 learn about the hard work Bonnie tackled throughout her life to make it aboard NASA's space shuttle Challenger. From planting crops and driving the tractor on her family's homestead to devouring all the books she possibly could to applying to NASA three times, Bonnie refused to give up! All her hard work and passion for science led her to a job that launched her into the stars as an astronaut.
