Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure illustrated by Lucie Bee

Illustrated by Lucie Bee and written by Hayley Arceneaux; Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure will inspire children everywhere to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to seek new friends and new adventures wherever they are!

An imaginative, inspiring, and beautifully illustrated picture book from the youngest American to ever orbit the earth—cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux—who learned that if we are willing to be scared and brave at the same time, extraordinary things are possible.

A fantastic fictional space story inspired by the author’s real-life experiences, Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure is the perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger hearts.

Like every child, Hayley has to learn to be brave in ordinary ways, like facing the first day of school or trying a new sport. But when Hayley gets sick—really sick—she has to learn to be brave in not-so-ordinary ways. When Hayley is invited to become an astronaut and travel to outer space, she knows she is up for the challenge. But she’ll need all her courage to handle what’s in store!
