A young girl undertakes an impossible trip to the moon, makes friends
with the stars, and brings back something priceless in this gentle and
lyrically told picture book about family, history, and memory.
Grana used to tell the best stories, and Mable used to long to soar
through the heavens. Nowadays, Grana mostly lies in bed and Mable stays
close to home. But one day, Grana asks, "If we can touch the moon, then
what is impossible?"
So Mable decides to do just that, embarking on a journey through the
stars where The Seven Sistahs, The Big Dipper, and other constellations
help her on her quest and teach her about African mythology and African
American history. With the support of her new companions, Mable reaches
for her biggest dream yet: to make her sick grandma well again.
