Girls Belong in Space

A lyrical and inspiring journey through the stars, this rhyming picture book highlights women who soared to new heights in the field of aerospace and space exploration. Perfect for fans of Mae Among the Stars and the She Persisted series.

Planets have orbits, each star has a place, 

but where do girls fit in infinite space?

Girls Belong in Space introduces young dreamers to women and girls who have proven those wrong who say girls don't belong in space. From launching the first US astronauts into space to guiding rovers to Mars, these girls can do anything and go anywhere!

Backmatter includes bios, space facts, and a further reading list.

Ashlee Hashman is a former math teacher turned stay-at-home mom and author. When she isn't getting starry-eyed over space facts, Ashlee's planetside adventures include wrangling her two kids, playing music, and reading. She lives with her family in Missouri. Girls Belong in Space is her first picture book.

Gillian Eilidh O'Mara is a multi award-winning artist and writer of Scottish and Irish heritage, who grew up in Dundee and now makes her home in County Durham, where she wanders the countryside with two daughters and a boisterous dog. A daydreamer at heart, she is known for the light in her work and loves expansive skies, cold North Sea air, big unanswerable questions and all things storytelling.
