The Book of Bok - One Moon Rock's Journey Through Time and Space

A young boy sits up in bed and gazes at the distant white Moon through his window. He wonders if, one day, a human will stand on its surface and look back at the distant Earth. But unbeknownst to him, 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 blue and green planet for millennia. Geologists - people who study rocks - have a saying: 'Rocks remember'. During his time, Bok has witnessed some truly wondrous things. Created in the literally Earth-shattering collision 4.5 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon, he has seen stars burst into being and die and meteors streaking 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 rudely awoken one early lunar morning by a strange creature dressed all in white, picking him up and throwing him into a box. That is how Bok and Neil Armstrong first met, and this is their (true) story.
