First man on the moon Neil Armstrong's only children's book is a
unique exploration of how the Earth and the Moon came to be. The
entire epic history of the Earth and the Moon is recounted through the
observations of one special moon rock named Bok. Geologists say that
rocks remember, and Bok certainly does. It recounts how its life began
on Earth, until a collision with an asteroid catapults it into orbit
during the creation of the Moon. From the Moon's surface, Bok
watches the developing planet change from afar--until a strange
creature scoops him up and brings him back to Earth. When NASA
honored Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong and gave him a piece of
moon rock from that mission, Armstrong playfully named the rock Bok in
his acceptance speech. Award-winning illustrator Grahame Baker-Smith
has created a breathtaking, one-of-a-kind picture book based on that
speech, combining fascinating science and history with the grandest
human adventure of all.
