Astronaut Anna Menon brought a touch of outer space to the patients at St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital during a special story hour. Menon, the author of the children’s book “Kisses from Space,” shared her love for space exploration with the children as she read from her book aboard the Polaris Dawn spacecraft.

The atmosphere was filled with wonder and excitement as Menon’s captivating storytelling took the children on a journey through the stars. Her book, which tells the story of a young astronaut who sends kisses to Earth from space, was a hit with the young audience, sparking their curiosity about the mysteries of the universe.

The event was a heartwarming reminder of the power of storytelling to inspire and uplift, especially in challenging times. Menon’s visit brought joy and a sense of adventure to the children at St. Jude’s, showing them that the possibilities in space are as endless as their own imaginations.

As the children listened intently to Menon’s tales of space exploration and discovery, it was clear that her visit had made a lasting impression on them. The connection between science and storytelling was beautifully illustrated, reminding us all of the magic that can be found in the world beyond our own.
