An engrossing STEAM-themed dual narrative about Black artist Alma Thomas's creation of a painting inspired by the Apollo Moon missions
The Apollo astronauts gave people a new way of looking at the world—and so did modern artist Alma Thomas.
In 1969, people around the world watched as the Apollo 10 astronauts sent the first-ever live color television broadcasts from space. Abstract painter Alma Thomas was among those watching, and afterward, she began a series of bright, bold pieces inspired by the Moon missions and the marvels of space exploration.
In a dual narrative that weaves together key moments from the Apollo 10 mission with Alma’s process creating Snoopy Sees a Sunrise, celebrated author and illustrator Nina Crews presents a fascinating STEAM-themed perspective on an incredible scientific endeavor—and an incredible artist.
