Astrid is training to go to space! But as she builds her shuttle, cooks astronaut food, and practices floating in zero gravity, the ship’s construction is too dangerous, Astrid’s too little to cook alone, and she floods the bathroom. That night, when Astrid dreams she’s an astronaut, the challenges she encounters in her nightmare are overwhelming. Astrid realizes she isn’t as ready as she thought. Back on Earth, Astrid turns to her loving and supportive father, who helps Astrid continue her astronaut training. (From GoodReads.)

A bit long for storytime, but could work.
