Ally Goes to the Moon

Subtitle: An Artemis-Inspired Adventure in the Florida Everglades

From the Heart of the Everglades to the Heights of the Moon-Join Ally G. on a Historic Artemis-Inspired Adventure

A Tiny Gator with a Giant Dream Ally G. is not your typical alligator. While her family is content splashing in the sun-soaked marshes of the Florida Everglades, Ally spends her nights staring at the glowing moon, wondering what it would be like to touch the stars. Wearing her signature lucky blue beanie, she's a "runt of the pod" with a heart larger than a Saturn V rocket.

A Journey Through Florida's Natural Wonders When Ally hears about a historic mission launching from the nearby Kennedy Space Center, she knows this is her chance. Follow Ally and her trusty best friend, Iggy the Iguana, as they navigate the vibrant wildlife of the Sunshine State-from the rustling sawgrass of the swamp to the iconic launchpads of Cape Canaveral.

Inspired by NASA's Real-Life Artemis II Mission Written and illustrated by E. Marie Chadwick with assistance of Gemini, during the historic 2026 Artemis II launch, this whimsical story blends scientific wonder with a classic "underdog" tale. Children will learn about:

The Power of Perseverance: How being "small" doesn't mean you can't do "big" things.Florida Wildlife: A colorful introduction to alligators, iguanas, and the beauty of the Everglades.Space Exploration: Sparking curiosity about NASA's return to the lunar surface.
