The whole world is watching us go back to the Moon. Here is the adventure your kids will not put down.
NASA is returning to the Moon, and every kid who saw it on the news has the same question: what would it actually be like to live up there? Moon Kids answers it the fun way, through three kids who already do.
Alma draws everything she sees. Leo never goes anywhere without his stuffed dog, Comet. Noa is growing the very first sunflower on the Moon. They are ordinary kids with one extraordinary address: Artemis Base Camp, the first human home built on the lunar surface, near the Moon's South Pole.
It is real science turned into a real adventure. The kids chase Comet when he floats up to the cargo bay ceiling. They wait four whole days for the Sun to come back. They send a message to Earth and count the seconds until it arrives. They watch a sunflower grow crooked, dodge a solar storm, and 3D print the part that fixes the base. It reads like recess, and the science slips in along the way.
