The Darkest Dark

Product Information

The story provides a beautiful, innocent account of the common childhood fear of being scared or the dark and what can be found hiding within it. The moon landing is mind-boggling in itself, but something even more important catches Chris's attention – he never noticed how dark it was in space. His widely-praised debut picture book, The Night Gardener , was a collaboration with his brother Terry. Chris Hadfield's book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth , sees his lessons learnt in space applied to life on Earth.

But I have to say, the words, dreams, and message are what I will remember the most from this story.This book is about the astronaut Chris Hadfield; including his childhood dreams of becoming an astronaut and what inspired him to be an astronaut (the moon landing). He was CAPCOM for twenty-five Shuttle launches and served as Director of NASA Operations in Star City, Russia, Chief of Robotics for the NASA Astronaut Office in Houston, and Chief of International Space Station Operations. I have even caught her looking at the book (when i thought she was asleep) in the dark because of the glow in dark parts. The Darkest Dark is the debut picture book by Commander Chris Hadfield, international bestselling author of An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, with spectacular illustrations by illustration team, The Fan Brothers.

This leads to a reassessment of what darkness is, and how he feels about it, as well as to a life-long goal of getting out into that darkness. Recommended to young space lovers and would-be astronauts, as well as to children who are afraid of the dark.

AD – Olpro Cubo Breeze was gifted for review purposes A couple of years ago, I reviewed the Cocoon Breeze, a large inflatable drive away awning from Olpro. I liked the biographical information at the end, but the illustrative tone and wording of the story really let it down. Hadfield most recently served as Commander of the International Space Station where, while conducting a record-setting number of scientific experiments and overseeing an emergency spacewalk, he gained worldwide acclaim for his breathtaking photographs and educational videos about life in space.
