Moonshot by Brian Floca Here is the flight of Apollo 11 for a new generation of readers and explorers. See the steady astronauts, clicking themselves into gloves and helmets, strapping themselves into sideways seats. Here are their great machines in all their detail and monumentality, the ROAR of rockets, and the silence of the Moon. Here is a story of adventure and discovery—a story of leaving and returning during the summer of 1969, and a story of home, seen whole, from far away.
Bilby Moon by Margaret Spurling is a fictional picture book that would be useful in supporting Earth and Science for Stage 1 as it shows the phases of the moon.
Red by Libby Gleeson would be a suitable text for Earth and Space (Stage 2) or for Cooperating Communities under the current syllabus. It is the story of a teenage girl who is caught up in a cyclone that floods the coast of NSW.
