From readers and reviewers
“This is a lovely reminder that for some of us reaching for the moon is easy but not everyone has the same opportunities and by working together, having courage we can lift each other to find our own moon!”
“This book captured our imaginations, and certainly triggered a discussion about how to overcome challenges and reach goals. There are numerous applications for this book in the classroom, for various themes of work.”
“I also really liked how clever Rabbit was, and how he [sic] showed that there is more than one way to achieve something you want.”
“Our little ones might sometimes feel small, like they're 'just a kid', but this story shows them they have what it takes to do something amazing for themselves and for those around them too.”
“The story by [Priscilla Pho] is heartwarming and the illustrations by [Francisco Fonseca] are simply gorgeous.”
— Neesa Bally, author of The Monster Who Came to Visit
“The author has done a lovely job of showing … you can reach the moon and also help others reach their moon!”
“Beautiful book.”
