Before we get curious, we are excited to tell you about Olivia's new favorite book.

It's called How to Space Walk, Step by Step with Shuttle Astronauts,

and it was created by Michael J. Rosen and by Catherine D. Sullivan,

who just happens to know a few things about walking in space.

That's because she became the first American woman to ever walk in

space. In the book, you will see how a curious and determined child dreamed of joining a

space crew and then made her dreams come true with a lot of hard work and courage.

The book is a journey that guides the reader through the

training and astronaut needs to do to prepare to walk in space. I learned so many cool facts

while reading it. Did you know that a space suit weighs 280 pounds? That's insane. When I was done

reading the book, I felt like I might even be ready for my own mission to space.

Well, if you aim for the sky, just like Catherine D. Sullivan did, you might just get there.

You can purchase How to Spacewalk step by step with shuttle astronauts at all major bookstores or by clicking on the link in the show notes.
