About This Book
In July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first humans to set foot on the Moon. That historic event inspires a young African-American girl to dream big, in this moving tribute to the Apollo 11 mission published just in time to commemorate its 40th anniversary on July 20, 2009.
