空间和书籍的无限可能

| By Rebecca Parks, Senior Content Developer, Gale |

It’s easy to see why libraries are connecting space exploration and reading in their summer reading programs this year, beyond celebrating the 50^th尼尔阿姆斯特朗在月球上行走周年。这两个空间探索和阅读让你感觉像字面上任何事情都有可能发生，无论你在空间广阔的未知或书页之间是。

在1969年的儿童亲眼目睹了被认为是不可能的，当他们看到在月球上行走阿姆斯特朗，突然关于与小绿火星，太空殖民地，和激光枪相遇的故事似乎不那么牵强。不仅没有那些事情似乎可能的，但孩子们想象自己在这些故事的英雄，勇敢地面对危险和看到的东西，别人很少有人会看见。空间，如书籍，扩大孩子的什么在宇宙中是可能的，什么对自己是可能的愿景。

Books & Authors, a reader’s advisory product offered by Gale, celebrates the limitless possibilities of space and books by pointing children to great space-themed stories. Readers can follow along as a young boy attempts to find the owner of a little star in出演一个Jar（2018）由Sarah思妮和Sam干草。孩子们可以通过一个叫小星的女孩，谁在这个故事后，晚上吃月饼不可抗拒晚上有点故事了解月亮的圆缺A Big Mooncake for Little Star(2018) by Grace Lin. They can join in on the fictional space adventures of the “mousetronaut” Meteor (Mousetronautby Mark Kelly and C. F. Payne) or the little red hen Zelda, who wants to be the first chicken in space (塞尔达的大冒险by Marie Alafaci and Shane McG). Or they can learn about the real-life astronaut Mae Jemison, the first African American astronaut, in the nonfiction picture book美在星(2018) by Roda Ahmed and Stasia Burrington.

There’s plenty of recommendations for middle-grade readers too, including nonfiction accounts of the Apollo 8 mission, which succeeded in circling the moon in 1968 (To the Moon!: The True Story of the American Heroes on the Apollo 8 Spaceship由杰弗里·格和Ruby沙米尔;阿波罗8：使命改变了一切by Martin W.
