Kasia and Mati Want to Be Astronauts follows two curious children as a fascination with the night sky grows into a dream of exploring space. Their journey takes them beyond simply imagining rockets and stars — they begin discovering what astronauts actually need to learn, practice, and experience.
Step by step, readers encounter astronaut training, rocket launches, spacewalks, zero gravity, and life beyond Earth. The story introduces accessible STEM ideas while keeping the focus on the wonder of asking questions and wanting to understand how space exploration works.
The adventure also reaches toward the future, imagining experiences such as building, eating, living, and even growing a first space garden on Mars. These ideas give children room to think creatively about science while seeing that exploration depends on teamwork, preparation, courage, and persistence.
Presented in bilingual English–Polish text, the story is designed for young dreamers, classrooms, and bilingual families. Its central message is simple: children do not need to know everything before they begin — curiosity and determination are already powerful first steps.
