Astrid has always loved the stars and space.

""I want to be an astronaut!"" she says.

While Mama is away, Papa and Astrid have fun acting out the challenges an astronaut faces on a space mission – eating food from a tube, doing science experiments, living and sleeping in near-zero gravity. Astrid can do it all!

Then it’s time to meet Mama at the airbase. But where has Mama been?

I thought this book was amazing because Astrid learnt what to do in Space. My favourite character was Mama because she gave Astrid a hug and I like hugs. I would recommend this book to people who like Space because the theme of the book is Space.

I liked that Astrid's Mummy was an astronaut and Astrid wants to go to space when she grows up, and so do I! I really want to travel to see the stars, moon, and other planets.

Strong, inspiring message to readers that they can do anything. The main character is a black girl who drama of being an astronaut. It turns out she wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps who is a black, female astronaut. Such an important book for children to read and see anyone can work in these jobs. Lots of facts at back of book.

I loved the book a lot especially the start where there was a kid named Asrtrid who told her dad she wanted to go to space. Astrid was sure it was going to happen and my favourite part of the book was when her mum came back from space. It made me feel now I would like to go to space!!!

This book was about a girl who wanted to become an astronaut just like her mother. So she told her best friend that she would bring a rock from the moon for him.
I would give this to my friend who wants to become an astronaut.

Astrid was a little girl who wanted to be an astronaut.While,her mother was away her father told her all about space in a fun way .Right from how they eat food from a tube to how they live at near zero gravity.
I gained immense knowledge like astronauts eat dry food so that they do not spill or leak. The word astronaut comes from Greek word Astron”meaning “Star” and “ Nauts” meaning “Sailor”.

The book is about a girl, Astrid, who wants to be an astronaut when she grows up. It is her dream to become an astronaut because her mother is one too!

I like the part when she is talking to her father and baking cookies. I also like the part when her mom returns from space and gives her a big hug.

I was surprised to learn that the first animal to go to space was a dog - i always thought it was a beetle!
