Details

The Darkest Dark. The story of a boy who faced his fears... and when on to reach the stars. An inspiring bedtime story by Bestselling Author Chris Hadfield.

A wonderfully warm and engaging picture book based on the inspiring, real life events of Astronaut Chris Hadfield, and how he overcame his fears to fulfil his childhood dream - to explore Space!

Young Chris is an astronaut. A very busy astronaut. Saving the planet from aliens is much more important than taking baths or going to bed. Because at bedtime the worst sort of alien appears-darkness. But when Chris watches the first moon landing on TV, he discovers that there is a dark out in Space that is much darker than hes used to. Its the darkest dark ever, and he realises that the unknown can be ...exciting!

The Darkest Dark is the debut picture book by Commander Chris Hadfield, international bestselling author of An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth and You Are Here, with spectacular illustrations by illustration team The Fan Brothers. Inspired by Chriss decision to become an astronaut after watching the Apollo 11 moon landing at age nine, The Darkest Dark is an inspiring story about facing your fears and following your dreams.

A MESSAGE FROM CHRIS: Being in the dark can feel scary.. but it's also an amazing place. The dark is where we see the stars and galaxies of our universe. The dark is where we find the Northern Lights shimmering and get to wish on shooting stars. And it was quietly in the dark where I first decided who I was going to be and imagined all the things I could do. The dark is for dreams - and morning is for making them come true.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Chris Hadfield is one of the worlds most seasoned and accomplished astronauts, and is the author of the number one international bestseller, An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth, and You Are Here: Around the World in 92 Minutes. The top graduate of the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School in 1988 and U.S. Navy test pilot of the year in 1991, Hadfield was selected by the Canadian Space Agency to be an astronaut in 1992. He was CAPCOM for 25 Shuttle launches and served as Director of NASA Operations in Star City, Russia, Chief of Robotics for the NASA Astronaut Office in Houston, and Chief of International Space Station Operations.

Hadfield most recently served as Commander of the International Space Station where, while conducting a record-breaking number of scientific experiments and overseeing an emergency spacewalk, he gained worldwide acclaim for his breathtaking photographs and educational videos about life in space. His music video, a zero-gravity version of David Bowies Space Oddity, has received more than 30 million views online. His TED talk, delivered in March 2014, has been viewed almost four million times. The Darkest Dark is Chriss first picture book.
