From Astronaut Abby, the dynamic founder of The Mars Generation, comes a book about dreaming big, reaching for the stars, and making a plan for success!

From the age of four, Abigail Harrison knew she wanted to go to space. At age eleven, she sat down and wrote out a plan-not just for how to become an astronaut, but how to be the first astronaut to set foot on Mars. With a degree in biology, internships at NASA, and a national organization founded to help kids reach for the stars themselves, Astronaut Abby is well on her way to achieving her dreams-and she wants to help others do the same!

In this book, readers will find helpful advice and practical tips that can help set them on the path toward finding, reaching for, and achieving their goals. With examples from Abby's own life, interactive activities to get readers going, and plenty of fun illustrations along the way, this is the perfect guide for anyone-of any age-with big dreams and plenty of determination. It's time to reach for the stars!

She is a dynamic leader and the co-founder of the international nonprofit organization The Mars Generation. Through her nonprofit, Abby now has almost one million people joining her on this mission to excite kids about STEM/STEAM education (science, technology, engineering, arts, mathematics) and also to educate people everywhere of the importance of STEAM and space exploration to the future of humankind. A rising star in her field, she holds a degree in biology from Wellesley College, has interned at a NASA-funded astrobiology lab, and has been featured in TIME, Forbes 2019 30 under 30, the BBC, and even gave her own TEDx talk!

Abby believes that no one is ever too young to pursue their dreams--she herself is living proof of that notion--and she's determined to help as many young people as possible start reaching for their very own stars. Filled with examples from Abby's own life, interactive activities to get readers going, and plenty of fun illustrations along the way, this is the perfect guide for anyone--of any age--with big dreams and plenty of determination.
