Discover how this jolly baby became the hope of the Milky Way and the leader of the Guardians of Childhood. What challenges will he face in his quest to safeguard innocence?
In the first book of a multibook series, find out how a round, jolly baby became the great white hope of the Milky Way–and ringleader of the Guardians of Childhood. Up there in the sky. Don’t you see him? No, not the moon. The Man in the Moon. He wasn’t always a man. Nor was he always on the moon. He was once a child. Like you. Until a battle, a shooting star, and a lost balloon sent him on a quest. Meet the very first guardian of childhood. MiM, the Man in the Moon.
