What is Suni Goes to Space about?

When young Suni hears about Neil Armstrong travelling to the Moon, she begins to wonder how anyone could reach such a distant place. Could he have climbed a ladder, floated in a hot-air balloon or ridden on a giant bird? After discovering the truth about rockets and space shuttles, Suni is fascinated. Her curiosity grows into a dream: she will become an astronaut. Inspired by Sunita Williams, this lively picture-book biography follows a girl whose questions, imagination and determination take her towards the stars.
