About This Book

A parent might reach for this book when their child is captivated by space and starts asking big questions about what it's really like to be an astronaut. 'Space Travellers' goes beyond simple facts about planets, focusing instead on the human experience of space exploration. It details the rigorous training, the challenges of living in microgravity (from eating to sleeping), and the awe-inspiring work of spacewalks. The book masterfully blends scientific wonder with the themes of bravery and overcoming fear, making the abstract concept of space travel feel tangible and human. For the 7-to-10-year-old fact-finder, it’s an inspiring look at a demanding and rewarding career, filled with breathtaking NASA photography.
