About this book

I'll Be the Moon is a heartening immigration story about a child's courage and the distance traveled to be with loved ones.

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.

PRAISE FOR I'LL BE THE MOON

"Poetic and moving, I'll Be The Moon is the rare bedtime story that begins only as the book ends." --Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of Mona at Sea and The Bullet Swallower

"Cortez's simple but rich telling of a child's view of crossing the desert brilliantly engages all of the senses as you follow the desert path with the moon as a familiar guide." --Rebecca Calderon, Ysleta ISD (TX) Library & Innovative Learning Department

"This is a great children's book to teach imagery and figurative language with!" --Meg Libertucci, Little Free Library steward (NY)
