Imagine a world where everyone looks identical, where all food tastes the same, where we all speak the same language. A world that is – well, pretty boring.

Around 60% of adults identify as ‘shy’ – just one of the facts that Ben uses to ‘normalise’ shyness, outlining stories of famously shy people from the past and the present – Charles Darwin, David Bowie, Greta Thunberg, Rosa Parks, Beyonce, Emma Watson – revealing the stories of successful adults who grew up shy but didn’t let it get in the way of their passion and creativity. Shy kids often have great innate skills – listening, creativity, kindness, compassion and problem-solving – so being shy or quiet is not something to ‘outgrow’ but something to embrace and be proud of. Unique to the children’s market, this book will help shy kids to thrive in their own (quiet) way.
A boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant Moon. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the Earth. But Earth is already being studied from the Moon. An all-seeing Moon rock of almost impossible age, called Bok, has been looking down at our planet for millennia. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he’s seen stars burst into being and meteors streak through the solar system. He has seen his own Moon surface be transformed with craters, and he has watched a fiery, volcanic planet transform into the haven we know today – as mountain ranges rose up, oceans appeared and dinosaurs roamed the Earth. And he found himself being thrown into a box! That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.
