Silverman, Erica Let's Go to the Moon (Lana's World; Green Light Readers, Level 2) Illustrated by Jess Golden. 32 pages. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017. $12.99. EARLY READER
Lana wants to go to the moon, but everyone she asks has a good reason to not want to go. It's far. It's lonely. It has no gravity. Even her dog is busy elsewhere. But Lana is not deterred. She makes a rocket out of boxes and embarks on her journey. With lots of heart and imagination, and kind parents and brothers, Lana has an out-of-this-world experience.
This is an early reader that is right on target. The illustrations add to the understanding of the story, allowing good conversations about meaning of pictures, and inference. They also depict a family of ambiguous race identity, widening the appeal.
