Reaching for the Moon

On July 20, 1969, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong made their historic Apollo 11 moon walk and became the first two humans to walk on another world. Now Buzz Aldrin takes us on the incredible journey of hope, hard work, and determination that began in his childhood and led him to achieve a dream that many believed was out of reach.

With vibrant, historically accurate paintings by Wendell Minor, this extraordinary picture book-the first by one of the Apollo 11 astronauts-brings a unparalleled triumph in American history to life for a new generation and shows how everyone can strive to achieve their dreams.
