Publisher Summary

For many children who live far away from their grandparents, it can be hard to understand why they can’t always be together. Patricia MacLachlan has created a bridge to close the distance by finding connections in memories and the moon they share. A beautiful, lyrical poem coupled with Bryan Collier’s rich collages, Here and There celebrates the importance of staying close to your family, even across thousands of miles.
