My Journey to the Stars

"Aspiring astronauts and kids interested in space will enjoy reading about Scott Kelly's journey from star-struck kid to NASA astronaut in this picture book biography." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly was the first to spend an entire year in space! Discover his awe-inspiring journey in this fascinating picture book memoir (the perfect companion to his adult book Endurance) that takes readers from Scottâ€™s childhood as an average student to his record-breaking year among the stars.
Â
Scott Kelly wasnâ€™t sure what he wanted to be when he grew up. He struggled in school and often got in trouble with his twin brother, Mark.
Â
Then one day Scott discovered a book about test pilots and astronauts that set him on a new path.
Â
His new focus led him to fly higher and higher, becoming first a pilot and then an astronaut, along with his brotherâ€”the first twin astronauts in history. But his greatest accomplishment of all was commanding the International Space Station and spending nearly a year in space, which set the record for the longest spaceflight by an American.
Â
This story of an ordinary boy who grew up to do extraordinary things is perfect for children, fans of Scott's adult book Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery, aspiring astronauts, and anyone who has ever tried to defy the odds. It will amaze and inspire you.
