I’m trying to introduce my nephew to biographies and why their stories are important and what we can learn from them. I’m glad that he knew who Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) was and still learned some new facts about him from this story.
As a little boy, after seeing Cleveland Air Race, Neil wanted to become a pilot. At 16, he got a license to fly. He studied aeronautical engineering. After graduating, he became a hotshot test pilot. When NASA was looking for astronauts for its first spacecraft mission, he applied. He was part of the team, who launched Apollo II mission to the moon. With his left foot on the lunar space, he became the first person on the moon. “Impossible can become reality with one small step.”
This story brings a great lesson for young children. Throughout his journey, there were some obstacles, but he found solutions to propel himself forward. It teaches them that with small steps you can make a difference, and to never give up.
Illustrations are interesting, supporting the text. The sentences are simple and to the point making it a quick and engaging read.
