Praise


“The influence of a book like this may be ‘one small step’ in a child’s development, but for some, it will also inspire them to take the next ‘giant leap’.”

Andrew Thomas, NASA Astronaut (retired)
 
"This one-of-a-kind book brilliantly displays accurate space travel that will spark imaginations, inspire dreams, and delight space lovers, young and old. Look closely at the illustrations for hidden insider details that encourage readers to ask questions and discover even more!"

Andrea Boyd, International Space Station Flight Controller and Deputy of Astronaut Operations for European Space Agency
 
"Capturing the thought processes of what to be in life, the beauty of the night sky, the magic of space and the stages of becoming an Astronaut from a young age is very inspirational. It shows that anyone can achieve what they aspire to do. This will be a treasured book for many generations."

Flavia Tata Nardini, CEO and Co-Founder of Fleet Space Technologies.

The Book




I love the whole concept of this series.  The books offer inspiration, education and entertainment to the reader.  It empowers kids not to say "if" I do... but "when" I do.  I also like the adorable main character who is a little girl of colour.  She is an aspiring  astronaut.  

The book encourages kids to follow their heart's desire of what they want to become when they are grown up.  

The illustrations are beautiful.  They are large, crisp and colourful greatly enriching the positive message of the book perfectly.  

With a HUGE dream in your heart, lots of hard work, perseverance, and practice your dream can become a reality. This book should be both in classrooms and elementary school libraries. I highly, highly recommend it!

Samantha finished school at age 16 years and commenced studying medicine at The University of Adelaide. Driven to take on challenges, she became the first woman in South Australia to complete the adult Urological Surgical training program despite physical limitations from congenital hip dysplasia.


Whilst training in urology, Samantha saw a need for a greater focus on incontinence treatments for women and a need for specialised care. Her vision was to establish a sub-specialty practice bringing the best treatments available to the women of South Australia. She became the first urologist in South Australia to exclusively specialise in female and functional urology, establishing Continence Matters in 2002, subsequently building her single surgeon practice into a Centre of Excellence.


Dr Pillay has served on numerous National and State boards and committees, including;

Chair of the Female Urology Special Advisory Group for the Urological Society of Australia and New Zealand from 2007 to 2013. Samantha has devoted her career as a surgeon to treating incontinence, reducing the stigma, and educating doctors, health professionals and the community.


She is a single mother, surgeon, running a business and a household, who enjoys writing in her spare time.


Now she is a self-published author of:

The No Recipe Cookbook – a cookbook for people who don’t cook.

When I’m a Surgeon – an inspirational children’s picture book with the companion Activity Book.
