British Astronaut Tim Peake may be 200 miles above Earth, but he has found the time to join the stellar line up of stars to read a CBeebies Bedtime Story to little ones across the country.
All the way from the International Space Station, reading ‘Goodnight Spaceman’, he tells the tale of two young aspiring spacemen hoping for the adventure of a lifetime!
Kay Benbow, Controller of CBeebies, says: “Our viewers on CBeebies have followed Tim’s mission with delight and awe, and we are really delighted that he has taken part in this very special bedtime story. We know that it will inspire our viewers to dream of the stars and space adventures. Make sure your little ones don’t miss this historic CBeebies bedtime story!”
Tim joins the list of celebrities to present a CBeebies Bedtime Story, including Damian Lewis, David Tennant, Nadiya Hussain, Warwick Davis, Maxine Peake and James McAvoy.
Inspired by Tim Peake and his sons, ‘Goodnight Spaceman’ is authored by Michelle Robinson and Nick East, and will air on CBeebies on Monday 30 May at 6.50pm.
Each and Pear have been studying space with school and they have both loved watching Tim and listening to his story.
