Bookroo's summary

Neil Armstrong's journey from mowing lawns to making history on the moon inspires young dreamers. Explore his adventurous childhood, where even a basement wind tunnel couldn't contain his aspirations. Will his story ignite your own dreams to reach beyond the stars?

From the publisher

Astronaut Neil Armstrong couldn’t be held down by Earth’s gravity. As the first person to step foot on the moon, Neil took the US space program to new heights. But before he did that, he had humble boyhood jobs-cutting lawns, cleaning ovens, washing airplanes-and plenty of adventures, including building a wind tunnel in his parents’ basement! This playful story shows young readers that not even the sky is the limit for their own dreams.
