Description
The dark represents our fear of the unknown, and this fear often affects young children most significantly. This children's book, a pseudo-biography of astronaut Chris Hadfield's childhood, seeks to help children mitigate their fear of the dark and inspire them to take an interest in the unknown! It follows the young Hadfield as he plays astronaut, having fun all throughout the day with his dog. But when bedtime calls, Chris and his petrified pooch can't seem to take their minds off of what might be waiting for them in the dark. After watching a televised recording of astronauts landing on the moon, Chris realizes that the unknown might not be so scary after all. Designed to help reluctant sleepers on their path to dreamland, this kid's book may just inspire some astronauts along the way! 38 pgs, hc.
