Bok's Giant Leap

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 again. With text adapted by Carol Armstrong from a speech Neil Armstrong gave upon receiving the moon rock he named Bok and breathtaking illustrations by award-winning illustrator Grahame Baker Smith, this one-of-a-kind picture book combines fascinating science and history with the grandest human adventure of all.
