How to Eat in Space By Helen Taylor Art by Stevie Lewis A kid-friendly, accessible, and humorous picture book about the sometimes complicated task of eating while in outer space. Spoiler: it's not as simple as it seems! Without a kitchen, plates, or cups, eating in space isn’t easy. When food floats (and so do you), remember: 1. Be patient: Preparing a meal without gravity’s help takes time. 2. Avoid crumbs: They get everywhere! 3. Clean up after yourself: Today’s stray snack could become tomorrow’s smelly surprise. Once you learn the dos and don’ts, you’ll be eating like an astronaut in no time! This fact-filled look at eating while away from Earth will show young readers what it's really like to live on a space station, with engaging back matter that takes a deep dive into the topic and features photos of real NASA astronauts! |
