Christina Koch:  Astronaut and Engineer

 

In the Bearport Biographies series are beginning reader books that combine amazing photographs and drawings with basic facts that will draw in readers looking to find out more.  Christina Koch wasn’t just a famous, brave astronaut, but she spent a winter studying at the South Pole.  Other books in the series cover the range from Michael Jordan to John Lewis.  At the end are an Index, Glossary, Timeline, and Resources to Find Out More in websites and books.  This series will be a fine introduction to nonfiction for young readers, but it’s not a Cream contender.
