The Darkest Dark

Chris loves rockets and planets and pretending he's a brave astronautexploring the universe. Only one problem at night, Chris doesn't feel so brave. He's afraid of the dark.

But when he watches the groundbreaking moon landing on TV, he realizes that space is the darkest dark there is and the dark is beautiful and exciting, especially when you have big dreams to keep you company. (From Tundra Books)
