When We Walked on the Moon

When I first looked back at the Earth, standing on the surface of the Moon, I cried. This book tells the story of the Apollo Missions, when incredible intelligence, engineering and bravery allowed humans to stand on the surface of something other than Earth for the very first time. From the 1969 first moon landing to the amazing rescue of Apollo 13, each mission has its own chapter detailing what happened and what we learnt, with a section at the back featuring biographies of each of the astronauts. Published to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, this is the perfect title for any child who has ever looked up at the moon and wondered what it might be like to go there.
