The Story

A story your child needs to see themselves in.

Page 9 — The moment that breaks her heart… and builds her courage.

Luna loves the night sky more than anything. She names every star she sees, dreams of rockets, and tells her class she wants to be an astronaut.

When her classmates laugh — and a boy named Jake says "girls can't be astronauts" — Luna's big dream feels very small.

But then her mama shows her something that changes everything: the story of Mae Jemison, the first Black woman in space.

What Luna does next will change her classroom, her friendships, and herself — forever.

"The stars don't care how small you are.
They just ask: how big is your dream?"
