Publisher's Summary

Acclaimed author Dianna Hutts Aston delights young listeners with books about real-life topics, written in language they can understand. In The Moon Over Star, a young girl remembers how in 1969 she watched enthralled as astronauts took the first steps on the moon. She looked into the sky and dreamed of reaching for the stars. This little girl turns out to be Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to go into space.

Beautifully captured memories

Mae listens about the moon landing in 1969. At first, her grandfather was not very impressed with it. But then as the two hear about how the astronauts landed on the moon, she starts to dream which was what she eventually accomplished in her life.

Lovely story for both children and adults. I heard the audio story and enjoyed listening to it.
