Stella wants to be an astronaut ... but Stella is an elephant. Every time she applies to Space Command, they come up with a new reason she can’t join. But where there’s a will, there’s a way and Stella is determined to reach for the stars.

"Stella is an Elephant who would like to be an astronaut. She is determined. Smart. Resourceful. Motivated. ... She does not need anyone else's approval. I love this book."
-- Jamie Bills

"With its well-told story, sympathetic heroine, and detailed, engaging illustrations, this picture book will easily win over kids who have their own big dreams and can-do attitudes."
-- Booklist
