About The Book
From bestsellers Rachel Bright and Nadia Shireen comes a charming picture book about a snail determined to beat the odds and achieve her dream of being the first snail in space.
Gail is not an average snail. Snails are small and slow, but Gail wants to blaze a different trail. “Be brave! Be bold!” she likes to say as she studies to be the first snail in space. It’s a long, hard journey, but Gail stays tough and strong. Can she follow her heart all the way to the moon?
