My Journey to the Stars by Scott Kelly

My Journey to the Stars by Scott Kelly

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly was the first to spend an entire year in space Discover his awe-inspiring journey in this fascinating picture book memoir (the perfect companion to his adult book Endurance) that takes readers from Scott's childhood as an average student to his record-breaking year among the stars.

Scott Kelly wasn't sure what he wanted to be when he grew up. He struggled in school and often got in trouble with his twin brother, Mark.

Then one day Scott discovered a book about test pilots and astronauts that set him on a new path.

His new focus led him to fly higher and higher, becoming first a pilot and then an astronaut, along with his brother--the first twin astronauts in history. But his greatest accomplishment of all was commanding the International Space Station and spending nearly a year in space, which set the record for the longest spaceflight by an American.

This story of an ordinary boy who grew up to do extraordinary things is perfect for children, fans of Scott's adult book Endurance: A Year in Space, A Lifetime of Discovery, aspiring astronauts, and anyone who has ever tried to defy the odds. It will amaze and inspire you.

SCOTT KELLY is a retired U.S. Air Force fighter and test pilot, an engineer, and a retired astronaut. Captain in the navy. Kelly, a four-time spaceflight veteran, led three missions to the International Space Station (ISS) and was a part of the year-long mission to the ISS. He set records for the total number of days spent in space and the single longest space mission by an American astronaut during the Year in Space mission. He currently resides in Houston, Texas.
