When not on the road with his bands,
blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves frontman Tom DeLonge
always made it a point to read to his children, Ava and Jonas.
Now the
alt-rock musician is proud to share some of his story time with the world,
through the release of his first children’s
book, The Lonely Astronaut on Christmas Eve. This book, written by DeLonge, is a story for the young and the young-at-heart alike.
Illustrated by
Mike Henry, it is a tale of a rocketeer
alone on the moon on a cold Christmas night, and the gift he
receives from a few unexpected (and extraterrestrial) friends. To
celebrate the spirit of the holiday season, DeLonge and Henry are proud
to announce a charity auction to benefit San Diego’s
Rady Children’s Hospital at CharityBuzz.com.
With a pre-sale set for Nov. 25,
the book will be available exclusively as a special, limited-edition “Lonely Astronaut Christmas Package” at
AngelsAndAirwaves.com.
Available for $50 to the first 1000 customers, the package contains: a
hardcover, first edition of the book, including a certificate of
authenticity signed by DeLonge; one digital version
of the book for iPad, Nook or Kindle (delivered on release date); one
“Lonely Astronaut” clear acrylic etched ornament; and a limited-edition
t-shirt.
Premium shipping available to guarantee delivery by Dec. 25.
Additionally,
DeLonge and Henry are proud to announce a charity auction to benefit
San Diego's Rady Children's Hospital Foundation. Beginning Mon., Nov.
25, fans can visit
www.CharityBuzz.com

Diego).
