This is a children's book about Dr. Roberta Bondar, Canada's first female astronaut. It's very short, very basic, geared to very early readers... but there is more information about Dr. Bondar, her life, and her work in the "teacher notes" at the end of the book.

I bought it at a charity shop in my neighbouring city of Kitchener, ON.

In celebration of the sesquicentennial, I have dedicated this year's bookcrossing activity to the reading and sharing of Canadian stories. I'm excited to include Dr. Bondar's story in my Canada 150 project!

My husband and I are travelling to Ottawa for the long weekend, and we've stopped for lunch in Whitby on the drive east. We detoured slightly on our route through town to the restaurant and stopped quickly at Baycliffe Park (aka Rocket Ship Park!). While we were there, we left this kids' book about Canadian astronaut Roberta Bondar near the rocketship play structure.

If you've found this book, thanks for picking it up and checking out its journal! If you're new to bookcrossing, welcome. We'd love it if you'd stick around with us a while. I really hope that you enjoy both this book and the whole bookcrossing experience!

This book was released as part of the 2018 "52 Towns in 52 Weeks" Release Challenge. Whitby was Town #30 for me!

I liked this book. There were very interesting things about it and space life. It was cool to find the book at the rocket ship park because it was about space it is a very simple book with no more then 1 sentence about 5-6 words a page. But there is lots of information in the back once you get to the end it is worth reading the extra parts.
