Simona Ceccarelli's profile

The Little Spacecraft That Could

"Ride along with the New Horizons spacecraft as she rockets three billion miles to Pluto! Watch her take the first close-up photos of Pluto, and then journey another billion miles to mini-world Arrokoth. You’ll whiz through space at more than 10 miles per second; learn how giant planet Jupiter helped the little spacecraft reach Pluto; and discover the astonishing surface feature that made the world fall in love with Pluto." Written by Joyce Lapin and published by Sterling Children's Books in May 2021.
"An epic, energetic flight into the dimmer reaches of our local astronomical neighborhood."—Kirkus (starred review)

“[In] Lapin’s exciting, accessible STEM offering . . . [with] Ceccarelli’s clear, colorful images . . . the twilight space backgrounds and entertainingly animated spacecraft are quite engaging. . . . Playful science for space-loving kids.”—Booklist
