Experience the wonder of the moon following you home with a Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator! Great for Father's Day and Grandparent's Day!
Max loves his grandpa.When they must say good-bye after a visit, Grandpa promises Max that the moon at Grandpa's house is the same moon that will follow him all the way home. On that swervy-curvy car ride back to his house, Maxwatches as the moon tags along. But when the sky darkens and the moon disappears behind clouds, he worries thatit didn't follow him home after all. Where did the moon go-and what about Grandpa's promise?
Floyd Cooper received the Coretta Scott King Award for The Blacker the Berry , three Coretta Scott KingHonorsfor BrownHoney in Broomwheat Tea , Meet Danitra Brown , and IHave Heard ofa Land ,and an NAACPimage award. In Max and the Tag-Along Moon, his lush paintings perfectly capture the wonder of the moon, the love between grandfather and grandson, and that feeling of magic every child experiences when the moon follows him home..
"Coretta Scott King Award-winning Cooper has created a gentle, comforting story that will reassure children that those who love us are always with us."
- Booklist
"Cooper uses his signature style to illustrate both the landscape--sometimes viewed from the car windows or reflected in the vehicle's mirror--and the expressive faces of his characters. Coupled with the story's lyrical text, this is a lovely mood piece. A quiet, warm look at the bond between grandfather and grandson."
