Cover of Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure by Hayley Arceneaux This is the cover of Astronaut Hayley’s Brave Adventure, a children's book by Hayley Arceneaux. The story is a simplified and imaginative retelling of her real-life journey as a childhood cancer survivor who became the youngest American, the first pediatric cancer survivor, and first person with a prosthetic limb to travel to space. Drawing from her experience on the Inspiration4 mission—the first all-civilian spaceflight—Arceneaux’s book encourages young readers to find bravery in the face of challenges, just as she did when overcoming childhood illness and later embarking on a historic spaceflight.
