The Darkest Dark

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. 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 he's used to. It's the darkest dark ever, and he realizes that the unknown can be... exciting!

The Darkest Dark is the debut picture book by Commander Chris Hadfield, with spectacular illustrations by the Fan Brothers. It was inspired by Chris's decision to become an astronaut after watching the Apollo 11 moon landing at age nine.

An inspiring story about facing your fears and following your dreams.
