The Moon Over Star

by Dianna Hutts Aston

Like everyone else in America on July 20, 1969, Mae’s eyes are turned skyward. The Eagle is about to make the world’s very first moon landing.  And that landing is something that will inspire young Mae to make one giant step toward all of the possibilities and dreams life has to offer.  In Mae’s words, “Gramps had looked to the moon all of his life. It told him when to plant and when to harvest. And once upon a summer’s night, it told me to dream.”  Any book illustrated by Jerry Pinkney is magnificent and this one is no exception.  Truly a remarkable book!
