Going to the Moon is SO last century, so how difficult can it be - even for a ten-year-old - to follow in the footsteps of Neil Armstrong and the Apollo astronauts? Meet Matilda, the girl who'll give it her best shot to learn everything she needs to learn in order to get there herself. From how to pee in zero-g to why pizzas won't take you up and up away, this is science for the curious! Told as a journey of discovery, it's full of easy-to-understand facts about air pressure, escape velocities, coding, and falling around the Earth, in a way which will inspire the next generation of moon walkers. AGES: 8 plus AUTHOR: Poet and author Dom Conlon divides his time between staring at the moon, writing books, and thinking about cake. This Rock That Rock, his collection of poetry with award-winning illustrator Viviane Schwarz, has been praised by Chris Riddell as being "simply out of this world" and Brian Bilston as "life-affirming". Dom is an occasional guest on BBC Radio where, as his teachers often noted, he talks too much. Heidi is a children's book illustrator and author based in the North of England. She loves to paint, draw and imagine delightful, wondrous scenes. She can't remember a time when there wasn't a tin of crayons or a messy paintbrush in reach. Her work combines traditional and digital techniques and is inspired by my love of colour, music, travel and nostalgia. She completed her M.A. in Children's book illustration at UCLan in 2020.
