NATIONAL BESTSELLER • An imaginative, inspiring, and beautifully illustrated picture book from the youngest American to ever orbit the earth—cancer survivor Hayley Arceneaux—who learned that if we are willing to be scared and brave at the same time, extraordinary things are possible.

A fantastic fictional space story inspired by the author's real-life experiences, Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure is the perfect book for young readers who have big dreams and even bigger hearts.

Like every child, Hayley has to learn to be brave in ordinary ways, like facing the first day of school or trying a new sport. But when Hayley gets sick—really sick—she has to learn to be brave in not-so-ordinary ways. When Hayley is invited to become an astronaut and travel to outer space, she knows she is up for the challenge. But she'll need all her courage to handle what's in store!

Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure will inspire children everywhere to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to seek new friends and new adventures wherever they are!

The perfect choice for parents looking for:

• Books about space
• Inspiring story books
• Role model books for girls and boys

Hayley Arceneaux is the author of Wild Ride and a St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital physician assistant, a career she committed to at age ten, after surviving pediatric bone cancer. At age twenty-nine, she joined Inspiration4, the first all civilian orbital space mission, which launched on September 15, 2021, and successfully water-landed three days later, making her the youngest American to orbit the earth, the first pediatric cancer survivor in space, and the first astronaut with a prosthetic body part.

Astronaut Hayley zipped up her space suit
and grabbed her helmet. She felt strong
and brave—like she could do anything!

But Hayley hadn’t always been an astronaut.
And she hadn’t always felt brave.

Not so very long ago, Hayley was a
regular kid who played fetch with
her dog and tag with her brother.

She baked cookies with her mom and
karate-kicked boards with her dad.

Back then, Hayley learned
to face her fears in ordinary,
everyday ways.
