Neil Armstrong (People We Should Know)
by Jonatha A. Brown

Description: “That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” These were the famous words spoken by Neil Armstrong as he became the first human being to set foot on another world.

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of this extraordinary moment in human history, Robert Burleigh and Mike Wimmer have created a breathtakingly beautiful tribute that transports readers to the stars, where they will experience the moon landing just as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did.

This book is written in present tense which adds a sense of immediacy to the story.
