Astro Girl
Author and illustrator: Ken Wilson-MaxThis picture book is an exploration of a young child’s connection to space travel, enhanced by educational facts about female astronauts. Lovely use of close-ups, perspective, colour and humour conveys emotion, joy and togetherness. The honest and tender storyline is complemented by eye-catching details and bold backgrounds. It's a great book for little STEM explorers.
