March Book of the Month - 2023


This month is International Women's Month. Each book will be focused on this.

Primary (Grades K-3)


When Little Mae was a child, she dreamed of dancing in space. She imagined herself surrounded by billions of stars, floating, gliding, and discovering. She wanted to be an astronaut. Her mom told her, "If you believe it, and work hard for it, anything is possible.” Little Mae’s curiosity, intelligence, and determination, matched with her parents' encouraging words, paved the way for her incredible success at NASA as the first African American woman to travel in space. This book will inspire other young girls to reach for the stars, to aspire for the impossible, and to persist with childlike imagination.

Junior (Grades 4-6)



In this picture book, Malala Yousafzai, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, tells the story of her childhood in Pakistan and her quest to make the world a more peaceful place.

The real-life story of NASA’s Black women mathematicians will give you goosebumps. Battling racism and sex discrimination from WWII through the Cold War, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson and Christine Darden were key figures in America’s space program, and learning their story and struggles is a must for women everywhere.
