THE SPACE WALK

Brian Biggs puts an interstellar spin on the parent-child relationship in this hilarious new picture book.
One small step for man is one giant leap for friendship in this kid-level space adventure.

Astronaut Randolph Witherspoon wants to take a walk - a spacewalk, that is! But Ground Control has other ideas. Randolph must eat some lunch, get some exercise, and then he can go outside, provided he dresses warmly and doesn't talk to strangers. But Randolph's mission doesn't exactly go to plan, leading to an unexpected new friend. Brian Biggs puts an interstellar spin on the parent-child relationship in this hilarious new picture book.

Selling points:
- Ground Control or Mom and Dad?: Randolph's relationship with the folks on Earth riffs brilliantly on the parent-child relationship. Kids and parents alike will laugh.

- Lots of space: Several wordless spreads depict Randolph's extraterrestrial encounter and show kids that you don't need to speak the same language to make fast friends.

- Ready for read-aloud: The spare text and bold, stylish artwork make The Space Walk a great pick for story-time.

- Kids love space: Space ships, astronauts, high-tech doodads, flying saucers, aliens - this book has it all!
