I like the vivid language of this picture book, and the way it celebrates the technical accomplishment the Apollo 11 mission was.

Floca cleverly juxtaposes the full-colour tale of landing on the moon with single-toned flashbacks tracking the evolution of mankind’s obsession with the moon and the science of getting there. ( )

In watercolors, ink and acrylics, Floca lays out colorfully and succinctly how the Apollo 11 mission unfolded.
