Astronaut Hayley's Brave Adventure

Hayley Arceneaux is a physician assistant at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, a career she committed to after surviving pediatric bone cancer. She served as an ambassador for the hospital when she joined the first all-civilian orbital space mission, Inspiration4, in 2021. At age twenty-nine, she became the youngest American to orbit the earth, the first astronaut with a prosthetic body part, and the first pediatric cancer survivor to go to space. She chronicled her experiences in her memoir, Wild Ride. Originally from Louisiana, she now lives in Memphis, Tennessee. 

Lucie Bee is a children’s book illustrator, a job she dreamed of when she was eight years old. She holds a degree in Illustration from the University of Lincoln and lives and works in Yorkshire, England. Her work is inspired by nature, nostalgia, and a huge helping of magic. When she isn’t in her home studio, she may be found sipping lattes in cozy coffee shops, jogging through leafy suburbs, or exploring the Peak District with her husband and two children.
