Edward White loved the night, lived where stars were big and bright. The evening sky - so wide, so high. Made him wonder. Made him sigh. Edward White was the first American astronaut to walk in space. But before his spacewalk, he was just a boy who loved the stars. As he grew up, he would look up at the night sky in wonder - he knew that, one day, he would visit the stars themselves. In this touching and poignant picture book biography, we see how Edwards passion for the stars shaped the course of his life, and how he came to realise, even in the depths of space, what was ultimately most important to him - his family.
