PICTURE BOOK LAUNCH EVENT! Featuring Bonnie's Rocket by EMELINE LEE

"In a fresh perspective on events that changed the universe, Bonnie's Rocket reveals to readers that STEM is at its most powerful when it is personal." - Andrea Beaty, New York Times bestselling author

Meet picture book author EMELINE LEE for this wonderful launch event In-Person at Books of Wonder, or online via Crowdcast! Bring the whole family and get your books Signed & Personalized during our celebration of all things STEM and space — this is Bonnie's Rocket by EMELINE LEE!

Bonnie's father is an engineer for the Apollo 11 space mission. Bonnie is an engineer too, developing a model rocket that she plans to shoot high into the sky. While Baba works on the moon-landing module far away, Bonnie designs, builds, and tests her own project —  with sometimes disastrous results! Throughout the process, Baba's letters encourage her in her work, and after the astronauts return from the moon, Baba comes home in time to see Bonnie launch her amazing rocket.

Inspired by the experiences of the author's grandfather, who helped design the space suits and life-support systems on the Apollo 11 lunar module, Bonnie's Rocket celebrates the diverse team that contributed to one of the United States' greatest achievements. It's also a heartwarming father-daughter story and a terrific gift for budding engineers and space fans of all ages.
