She is also the coauthor with Michael J. Rosen of How to Spacewalk: Step-by-Step with Shuttle Astronauts.
Michael J. Rosen has more than forty years of experience publishing more than 150 books for readers of all ages. Among his recent books for young readers are A Ben of All Trades: The Most Inventive Boyhood of Benjamin Franklin, A Tale of Rescue, and four books of haiku.
