“The rhyming text itself is a sweet story, but if you heard it without the illustrations you might think it's more moralizing—however, the gorgeous, charming illustrations toned that down for me and made this a beautiful read about caring for Earth. I loved the friendship of the girl and the moon, and the illustration of the Earth the girl views from the moon is breathtaking and touching.”
