British astronaut Tim Peake will publish a children’s book next month about his time on the International Space Station.

Goodnight Spaceman has officially been written by Michelle Robinson and Nick East, with Peake writing the forward and the story being inspired by his mission and how his sons Oliver and Thomas watched their dad take off from Earth.

Peake said: “Goodnight Spaceman is a delightful book that tells the story of two children, just like my sons, who dream of joining their dad on his adventures in space.

“I hope it may inspire a new generation of boys and girls to look up at the stars and not just ask questions but to go and seek answers of their own.”

Goodnight Spaceman will be released on April 7th.
