Annies joyful exuberance and her familys whole-hearted support leave no doubt that her dream is within her grasp. This delightful storywith backmatter about women astronautsencourages young readers to pursue their dreams and reach for the stars. Career Day is approaching, and Annie cant wait to show her family what shes planning to be when she grows up. But, she must keep it a secret until Friday! So curious family members each ask Annie for a clue. Convinced that shell be a news reporter like he once was, Grandpop gives her his old camera and notebook to use for her presentation. Grandma is sure Annie wants to be a champion baker like her, so she offers a mixing bowl and oven mitts to Annie. Hopeful she'll become the mountain climber he aspired to be, Dad gives Annie an old backpack. Mom presents Annie with a pair of high-top sneakers to pursue Mom's favorite sport in high school -- basketball. Grateful for each gift, Annie cleverly finds a way to use them all to create her Career Day costume. When the big day arrives, Annie finally reveals her out-of-this-world dream to everyone.

Astronauts reading kids stories from the ISS.

From their about us: Story Time from Space is a project of the Global Space Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education foundation.

We send children‘s books to the International Space Station.

While in space, astronauts are videotaping themselves reading these books to the children of Earth.

I don't have kids, but I think it's nice.

This is a great story for children about making their own choices! Career Day is coming and Annie can‘t wait to show her friends and family what she wants to be when she grows up! It‘s also a great book with a girl of color who loves science!!!🔭☄️🌎💫📚💕

3⭐️ Annie has career day coming up at school. She is not supposed to tell anyone what she has chosen. Each member of her family wants her to be like them. In the end she used each item her family gave her to be who she really wants to be. The illustrations are great, but this is where I get critical. Shouldn‘t her family already know what their little girl wants to be by the way her room is decorated? FYI - POC and female in the sciences.

readinginthedark Eh! 🤷🏻‍♀️There are several jobs you could have that have to do with space; astronaut is just the most commonly known by younger kids. 7y
LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark in the book one wants her to be a photo journalist, and other non space or remotely space ideas. All good ideas, but it when her room is devoted to Stars and planets, .. it was just an odd choice for me. 7y
readinginthedark Oh okay. Yeah, I see your point. That‘s just them projecting on her, I guess? She breaks free of expectations! 7y
