Fly high, John Glenn : the story of an American hero / by Kathleen Krull ; illustrated by Maurizio A. C. Quarello.

Krull, Kathleen, (author.). Quarello, Maurizio A. C., (illustrator.).

Summary:

John Glenn wasn't just the first American to orbit Earth. He was a family man, a soldier, a United States senator, and a national hero. He laid the groundwork for future star voyagers--and dreamers--everywhere. From the time he was a child, John Glenn loved flying. Later he did so by flying airplanes for the U.S. military, and then when space travel became a possibility, he trained for years to become an astronaut. John had to push his mind and body to the brink. But he loved his country more than anything and wanted to serve--including flying into the great unknown.
