      Filled with questions from kids and answers from actual astronauts, Spacecare is the perfect book for an out-of-this world exploration of health and life in space!

      Have you ever wondered how astronauts stay healthy in space?
      What if an astronaut gets sick on the space station?
      Does snot run in space?

      This fascinating photo-illustrated look at space and medicine explores how scientists and physicians study astronauts in space, how they help keep them safe, and what we've learned about the human body through space exploration.

      Take an insider's look into the day-to-day experiences of astronauts living aboard the International Space Station (ISS). From the intricacies of using space toilets to the challenges of sleeping in microgravity, young readers gain insight into the realities of life beyond our planet. Spacecare answers your most need-to-know questions about staying healthy in space, like:
      • How do astronauts use space gardens to cultivate plants in the unique environment of space?
      • What is microgravity and how does it affect the human body?
      • What happens if you get a stomach bug?
      • What can you eat in space? 
      • What is it like being weightless and dealing with motion sickness?
