Description I'll Be the Moon is a heartening immigration story about a child's courage and the distance traveled to be with loved ones. The moon inspires and shepherds the child and mother on their journey North to reunite with her father. It also reminds her of home and her abuela and her small town. Most importantly, the moon helps her dream and pushes her forward. With vivid and picturesque words by Phillip D. Cortez and imaginative illustrations by Mafs Rodriguez Alpide, I'll Be the Moon shows how la luna brings light to the darkness and guides us to those we love.
