Synopsis
Buzz Aldrin's intense enjoyment of his first flight, at the tender age of two, in a little red-and-white plane piloted by his father, hinted at a bright future in space. Famous for being one of the first men to walk on the moon as part of the 1969 Apollo 11 expedition, Buzz recounts the personal history that led to his groundbreaking voyage. His energetic childhood, rigorous schooling, and experience as a combat flyer all contributed to his successful career as an astronaut. Includes an aviation and space-travel timeline. With richly colored, detailed paintings. Named one of Publishers Weekly's best Children's Books of 2005.

Publisher's Note
An Apollo 11 astronaut takes readers on his journey that began in his childhood and led him to achieve his dream of walking on the moon, bringing to life an unparalleled moment in history for a new generation and showing how everyone can strive to achieve their dreams.

Industry Reviews
"Aldrin shapes nearly each page into a kind of brief chapter, instantly pulling readers into his easygoing, articulate narrative...Minor's light-infused art balances lifelike, affecting portraiture and images of various spacecraft in motion, rendered with an almost dizzying clarity."
