There is a competition to make the spacesuit for the first moon landing! Ellie, an ordinary woman, is asked to lead a team of talented seamstresses. No one believes they can win, but they are determined to try... This inspiring look at the history of the spacesuit is based on the incredible true story of the team of women who sewed it together for the first moonwalk.

Alison Donald is the author of The New LiBEARian. After years of scribbling story ideas on envelopes and scrap paper, she joined the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators, and their support helped her writing take off. She also works as a paediatric occupational therapist and has over ten years of experience helping children with special needs. Born and raised in Ontario, she now lives in the UK with her husband and their three children.

Allyson Ryan is an actress with extensive stage, television, and voiceover experience, including commercials, animation, video games, and promos. The narrator of over eighty audiobooks, she received an Earphones Award for her narration of Kaya McLaren's On the Divinity of Second Chances.

Peter Noble is an experienced audiobook narrator. Born in South Africa, he was dragged by hippie musicians from his idyllic childhood, where he ran barefoot through rich and matted grass with his dog Bartok, to vegetarian communes from California to India via Lisbon, London, and Findhorn. He picked up a wide range of authentic local accents and character voices along the way.
