Spacemanatee! is a story about Anna Lee, a sweet-natured manatee whose dreams are even bigger than her mighty flippers.

Every night, Anna Lee Manatee meets with her friend, The Loon, to stargaze. When Anna Lee shares her belief of a "Manatee on the Moon," The Loon mocks her seemingly far-fetched idea.

This is a sweet story that helps kids believe in themselves so they can reach new heights.
