What's This Book About

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.
