But in Thimmesh's highly engaging book, Team Moon , the thousands of people responsible for landing man on the moon finally and deservedly get their due. This engrossing historical account is extremely timely; for it is today's children who will make up the team of tomorrow. These kids will be returning to the moon, privatizing space, and, as I hope, finally placing human footprints upon Martian soil. And as this remarkable book shows, it'll take astronauts -- and a whole lot of others -- to fuel the space exploration that is our future." --Buzz Aldrin, astronaut, Apollo 11 , and moonwalker on the first lunar landing "Thimmesh's enthusiasm for her subject is palpable, and the sense of excitement she brings is as vital to Team Moon's success the book's very premise." --Chris Barton, author of Shark vs. Train An NCTE Orbis Pictus Honor Book AAAS/Subaru SB&F Prize for Excellence in Science Books An ALA Best Book for Young Adults An ALA Notable Children's Book, "This behind-the-scenes look at the first Apollo moon landing has the feel of a public television documentary in its breadth and detail."

Lovell, astronaut, Apollo 8 , Apollo 13 , Gemini 7 , and Gemini 12 Here is a rare perspective on a story we only thought we knew. For Apollo 11, the first moon landing, is a story that belongs to many, not just the few and famous. It belongs to the seamstress who put together twenty-two layers of fabric for each space suit. To the engineers who created a special heat shield to protect the capsule during its fiery reentry. It belongs to the flight directors, camera designers, software experts, suit testers, telescope crew, aerospace technicians, photo developers, engineers, and navigators. Gathering direct quotes from some of these folks who worked behind the scenes, Catherine Thimmesh reveals their very human worries and concerns. Culling NASA transcripts, national archives, and stunning NASA photos from Apollo 11, she captures not only the sheer magnitude of this feat but also the dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance of the greatest team ever--the team that worked to first put man on that great gray rock in the sky., Culling NASA transcripts, national archives, and stunning NASA photos from "Apollo 11," the author captures the dedication, ingenuity, and perseverance of the people behind the scenes who worked to make the first moon landing possible.
