list Most spiders spin a web and passively wait for prey to come to
them. Jumping spiders, by contrast, actively hunt by jumping to
catch their food. What if a jumping spider was sent to the
International Space Station? When it jumped, it would simply float.
No one knew if the spider could hunt in a weightless environment.
This nonfiction picture book for elementary kids chronicles the
amazing voyage of Nefertiti, the Spidernaut to the International
Space Station and back. She's a Phiddipus johnsonii, or Johnson
jumping spider, native to western United States. Her colorful
anatomy--red, black and teal--made for stunning photography and
video. In 2012, Nefertitti clocked a record-breaking 100 days in
space, during which time she circled Earth about 1584 times,
traveling about 41, 580, 000 miles. Astronaut Sunita Williams,
Captain U. S. Navy said, "It was a suspense story for me as it
happened. I didn't know if she would survive when I unpacked her
for the first time, or when I packed her up and sent her back home
to Earth." This is an astonishing story of change: through the dark
and cold, in spite of being weightless and isolated, this
incredible spider adapted and learned to hunt. Against all odds,
she survived to return to Earth, where she had to re-adapt to
Earth's gravity. Nefertiti's story of survival brings hope that we,
too, can adapt to a changing world. Join Nefertiti in this
inspiring journey into space. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING "In this
remarkable true story of a jumping spider sent on a mission to
space, Darcy Pattison successfully weaves together life science,
earth space science, engineering, and technology within a
suspenseful narrative. Readers will be drawn to Nerfertiti's
resilience as she tackles a challenge no spider has ever faced
before...to learn how to hunt in microgravity. This heartwarming
and educational book will make
