2024 INTERNATIONAL LATINO BOOK AWARD FINALIST FOR MOST INSPIRATIONAL CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOK
"Bold hope is the theme of this picture book." —Foreword Reviews
In her journey North, a child is shepherded by the moon as she aims to reunite with her father across the border. With vivid and picturesque words by Phillip D. Cortez and imaginative illustrations by Mafs Rodríguez Alpide, I'll Be the Moon shows how la luna brings light to the darkness and guides us to those we love.
