A young girl dreams of becoming an astronaut and makes her own costume for career day. Charming and inspiring. ( )

I really liked this story. Annie has to do a presentation for Career Day. Each of her parents and grandparents ask her what her presentation is going to be about. She gives them a clue and they give her an item based upon what they think her choice will be. I like that the reader gets to guess along with the family (I know the title gives it away) but it is also fun to see how she uses each item they give her in her presentation. Of course this book is all about dreaming and reaching for those dreams. In a world where we are trying to encourage girls in math and science this is a great book. The back gives some basic details about four women that have been in space that were first in an area. There are also sources given to find out more about them. The illustrations are nice, colourful but not too much detail to distract from the topic being shown. I think this is a great book for family, school and class libraries. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley. ( )

A charming story about a young girl whose heart is set far beyond her family's expectations. Career Day is coming up, where the kids dress up as what they want to be when they grow up. Annie is keeping her choice a secret from her family, though each assumes she wants to be what they were, and they give her gifts related to their jobs. Annie puts them all to use creating her most unexpected outfit, for Annie has her sight set much, much higher!

Well illustrated, and beautifully written. This is a great multicultural book, and has great lessons that girls should indeed be encouraged to pursue maths, and hard sciences. All of my cubs enjoyed this little read!
