[ISLMA-Share] Nonfiction! Native astronaut! MISSION IN SPACE

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Good morning!

Early this morning, I read John Herrington's MISSION IN SPACE. It gave me a
high, of sorts, to read such a cool book right now.

Here's why: tomorrow is the first day of November. November is usually
proclaimed, by the president, as Native American Month.

Herrington's picture book about his training and time on the space shuttle,
Endeavor, and the International Space Station gives me a lift. It helps me
blast off, in a way. Yeah--I know--that all sounds corny but it is an
accurate description of my emotional reaction to *Mission in Space*. This
book is terrific!

My review, with some images from inside:
