Tiny Voyager, Mighty Mission: The Story of Nasa's Greatest Space Mission to Explore Our Solar System and Beyond (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781917194105)

This space picture book for kids aged 4-8 tells the thrilling true story of NASA Voyager I's space probe, just in time for its 50th anniversary.

From the point of view of Voyager I itself, learn about its creation and adventures with realistic drawings of the probe and awe-inspiring illustrations of the space it travels through.
They called me Voyager. They told me I was a space probe. An explorer. I wanted to leap into space and never stop . . . I wanted to go everywhere, see everything!

The Voyager I space probe was launched by NASA in 1977 to study Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond . . . it has travelled further in space, and survived longer, than anyone ever thought possible! This exciting picture book brings Voyager I's extraordinary solar system-spanning journey to life, from:

• its creation in NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
• its launch in a huge Titan IIIE rocket
• the key features of its build (including the Golden Record in case it ever meets extraterrestrial life!)
• the planets and moons it has photographed on its way to cross the heliosphere.

Written by award-winning children's author Alastair Chisholm and illustrated by former NASA-trainee Shane Tolentino, Tiny Voyager, Mighty Mission is not only a visual celebration of scientific achievement, but also an invitation to young readers (and their caregivers!) to dream big and explore the big questions of life.
