Review: Good biography with sensitive topics addressed in an age-appropriate and respectful way! - Terrific book. My 10 and 8 year olds both read it, and thought it was very interesting. I'm not sure what all the negative hubbub is about! Yes, the book does mention that Sally was gay, and that Sally divorced her husband and lived with her partner Tam. For children whose parents are going through a divorce, this could be a sensitive topic. But from a humanistic standpoint, the description of her as being married, divorced, falling in love with and living with her lifelong friend, was tastefully done. For those who are *worried* about the sexual orientation from an appropriateness aspect, here are the sentences: "Sally had known Tam since their early days of playing tennis together. Sally and Tam were in love with each other. Sally and Steve Hawley got divorced in 1987. Sally was with Tam for the rest of her life." "The world was also surprised to learn that Sally was gay. Always very private, Sally had told only her close family and friends about her illness, and about her relationship with Tam. She did not want the public to know about that part of her life until after she died. Some wishes Sally had been more open about being gay. But that wasn't Sally's way. She never liked labels." People live complicated lives. People get married, divorced, fall in love. This book treats her relationships respectfully and as part of who she was as a whole, complex person - as we all are. In a responsibly written biography, you can't leave out facts simply because they might spark a challenging conversation. Why not use it as a teaching moment? Talking to kids is often much easier than worried parents make it out to be. You can say simply, "People love each other." End of story. Review: Great for grade school reports - My daughter had to do a "living Museum" project in her class. She had to dress up as Sally ride and tell people that came by all about who she was, what she did, all about her life. This book really helped with all of them and highlighted the main events in her life. Between this and a video on Youtube all about Sally Ride, she was set and did great! A+ on it! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #35,398 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #27 in Children's Science & Technology Biographies #55 in Children's Women Biographies (Books) #59 in Children's Aeronautics & Space Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (636) | | Dimensions | 5.39 x 0.24 x 7.64 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | 3 - 7 | | ISBN-10 | 0448466872 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0448466873 | | Item Weight | 4.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Who Was? | | Print length | 112 pages | | Publication date | May 16, 2013 | | Publisher | Penguin Workshop | | Reading age | 7 - 10 years, from customers | ## Images ![Who Was Sally Ride? - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819IrW0PRWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good biography with sensitive topics addressed in an age-appropriate and respectful way! *by M***M on October 30, 2015* Terrific book.
