NEW YORK, April 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Fair Share Publishing is proud to announce the acquisition of MIKE MONGO’S KID ASTRONAUT TRAINING MANUAL, a groundbreaking middle grade title from well-known astronaut teacher and longtime youth space advocate Mike Mongo, with illustrations by acclaimed story artist Raghav Arumugam.
Far more than a typical how-to guide, Mike Mongo’s KID ASTRONAUT TRAINING MANUAL invites readers ages 8–12 to imagine bold futures—on Earth and beyond—by building the mindset, adaptability, joy, and confidence needed to thrive in the world ahead. Through a focus on curiosity, resilience, and the inner work of dreaming big, the book redefines astronaut training for a new generation of explorers.
“This book isn’t just about becoming an astronaut,” said author Mike Mongo, “it’s about unlocking a mindset that makes anything possible—for kids who want to explore space as kid astronauts, and for students who want to explore their own potential.”
Known widely as the “Astronaut Teacher,” Mike Mongo has been championing the dreams of young spacefarers for nearly two decades. A beloved space educator and influencer, he is the creator of Mike Mongo’s Astronaut Job Camp. He splits his time between Cape Canaveral, FL, and SaxaVord Spaceport in the UK, where he leads immersive astronaut training experiences for students from around the world.
Illustrator Raghav Arumugam is a celebrated LA-based artist and animator whose visual storytelling spans collaborations with Marvel, TED-Ed, and National Geographic. His previous children’s books include Seth, Un Viaje Genial, and Ox & Man.
