Cincinnati Museum Center’s beloved Moon rock tells its own story in new children’s book

Bok的Giant Leap现已上市

CINCINNATI – “A piece of this young basalt is completely separated from its mother. 它的兄弟姐妹就躺在附近. 我们就叫他布克吧.”

So begins the story of one intrepid rock and its journey across the stars to a foreign planet.

布克的巨大飞跃: One Moon Rock’s Journey Through Time and Space, published by Crown Publishing in partnership with Cincinnati Museum Center (CMC) and Carol Armstrong, tells the story of how the Earth 和 Moon came to be through the eyes of a Moon rock brought to Earth during the Apollo 11 mission by astronaut Neil Armstrong.

In 2006, as he was awarded NASA’s Ambassador of Exploration Award in 结合终端’s grand Rotunda, Armstrong presented Bok to CMC as a long-term loan from NASA. 当他领奖时, Armstrong told the story of billions of years of lunar history through the eyes of little Bok – up to the day it was snatched up by a gloved hand and brought to Earth. In Armstrong’s own words, “I was the strange creature that kidnapped Bok.”

Armstrong’s story of Bok is retold in 布克的巨大飞跃, brilliantly brought to life by award-winning illustrator Grahame Baker Smith.

“The beautiful illustrations by Grahame Baker Smith bring Bok to anyone who reads Neil’s story of Bok the Rock,卡罗尔·阿姆斯特朗说.

Armstrong was an emeritus trustee of CMC and former board chair of the 自然历史博物馆 & 科学. He selected CMC as the recipient of the piece of human exploration history because, 用他的话来说, “a place of natural history is a great place for Bok to be.”

“Millions have come to know and love Bok here at Cincinnati Museum Center over the years and we are so excited people across the world will hear its story,伊丽莎白·皮尔斯说, president and CEO of Cincinnati Museum Center. “Neil’s charming tale of Bok’s life and journey captures the glee he must have felt standing in Bok’s homeland on his historic journey. Now, a new generation can relive both of their incredible journeys in 布克的巨大飞跃.

布克的巨大飞跃 is available now at local retailers and science museums across the country, 包括休斯顿航天中心, select Smithsonian institutions and CMC’s retail shop. You can visit Bok in person and hear the story in Armstrong’s own voice in CMC’s Neil Armstrong Space Exploration Gallery，由哈罗德C. Schott Foundation, where Bok is on long-term loan from NASA.
