Bookroo's summary
Ray Halfmoon, a Cherokee-Seminole boy, shares adventures with his Grampa, from trading hightops for moccasins to surviving a disastrous haircut. Their bond is tested through laughter and love, revealing the true meaning of family. Will their creativity and humor see them through life's challenges?
From the publisher
What do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasins…or hightops with bright orange shoelaces? Ray Halfmoon prefers hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his Grampa. After all, it’s Grampa Halfmoon who’s always there to help Ray get in and out of scrapes – like the time they are forced to get creative after a homemade haircut makes Ray’s head look like a lawn-mowing accident. This collection of interrelated stories is heartwarming and laugh-out-loud funny.
