Artemis Children’s Books
Hooray! NASA is working to send humans back to the Moon to live, learn, and explore through the Artemis missions. We are in a Golden Age of innovation and exploration, and NASA invites you to join the explorers and be part of the story.
“Hooray for SLS!”, “Our Friend Orion,” and “There and Back with EGS,” written by Lane Polak and illustrated by Heather Rose Legge-Click, introduce young explorers ages 3 to 8 to some of the unique elements needed for NASA Artemis missions to get to deep space and the Moon. With the help of NASA’s Exploration Ground System team, NASA’s mighty SLS (Space Launch System) rocket is designed to launch NASA’s Orion spacecraft, astronauts, and heavy payloads deeper in space than we ever have before.
We are going and that calls for a celebration: Hooray for SLS!
