Week Three Suggested Reading

We're back this week with a whole new list of books for your children to enjoy! One of our favorite's this week is "Look to the Stars" by Buzz Aldrin. We love the way Good Reads describes it: "As one of a handful of astronauts to have walked on the moon, Buzz Aldrin has a unique perspective of space. He serves as an amazing guide as he introduces us to the pioneers of space. From Copernicus to the Wright brothers, from the Apollo program to dreams of future travel, he reminds us that mankind has always looked to the stars." We think that this would be a great book for you and your child to read together seeing that the space program is being shut down. You can talk with your child about the current event as you read and gaze at the "beautifully detailed illustrations by renowned illustrator Wendell Minor." Enjoy!
