Description

You probably already knew that Mae Jemison was the first black woman astronaut in space (and also a doctor and a dancer), but Sneeze will tell you surprising and absolutely true things that you didn't know, like:

How Mae wrecked her family's car when she was only two years old
How Mae learned about sickle cell anemia by asking lots of questions and forming a hypothesis
What animals and languages you might find in Sierra Leone, where Mae was a Peace Corps doctor and where she met Sneeze
How Mae became the first real astronaut on the Star Trek TV show
How astronauts poop, pee, fart, eat, and sleep in space

It's the second book in a series of biographies of American heroes, as told by their devoted but snarky cats, translated from the original Cattish.
