Award-winning science fiction author Mary Robinette Kowal consulted
with a NASA astronaut to craft her first picture book story, accurately
describing how living on the moon differs from life on Earth.
Beautifully illustrated by Diana Mayo, Molly on the Moon is the tale
of two siblings adjusting to their new home.
When Molly and her family move to the moon, they can only pack the
essentials--just one toy each for Molly and her baby brother, Luke.
Luckily, Molly has a big imagination. A packing crate becomes a fort, a
tarp becomes a witch's cape, and some cans become a tea set. Baby Luke,
on the other hand . . . has blocks.
Molly doesn't want to share. At first. But then she realizes that when
you're on the moon--or anywhere else--a big imagination and being with
someone you love can be infinitely better than all the toys in the
universe.
Inspiring and imaginative, Molly on the Moon also includes
fascinating facts about the moon's environment, revealing how the
differences in gravity, temperature, and time would affect our lives.
