Dedicated to astronaut Neil Armstrong, A Kite for Moon is the perfect children’s book to help celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first United States moon landing.
What would it be like if the moon was your friend? Find out as you walk alongside a little boy who journeys through life to achieve his dream of becoming an astronaut. And then blast off with your little one as you zoom to the moon together!
The story begins when a little boy, who is flying his kite, notices a sad Moon. He sends up kites to her, writing notes promising he will come see her someday. This promise propels him through years of studying, learning, and training to become an astronaut. Until … he finally goes up, up, up in a big rocket ship with a fiery tail!
A Kite for Moon, written by New York Times bestselling author of How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? Jane Yolen and her daughter, Heidi Stemple, is a heartfelt story about a young boy’s fascination and unlikely friendship with the moon.

My thoughts: A KITE FOR MOON is a cute children's book commemorating the first steps on the moon. The storytellers humanize the moon, making Neil Armstrong the moon's only friend and sending kites to the lonely moon. I didn't like that aspect of the book, but I did like how it mentioned how Neil Armstrong studied to become an astronaut and worked for his goal.
My dad made the maps of the moon and picked out the landing places for this first trip so I have a special connection to this event.
If you are looking for a cute children's book, consider A KITE FOR MOON.

Little Sweet Pea, God Loves You

My thoughts: LITTLE SWEET PEA, GOD LOVES YOU is a darling book for a shower gift or welcome to a new baby that tells how much they are loved by both God and family. This will be a book that is read over and over, shared with birth stories, and "eaten" up by the child as they embrace the love God and family has for him.
