First Review of If You Were the Moon

By

If You Were the MoonReviews are a little nerve-wracking–like going to parent-teacher conferences if you have no idea how your child is doing at school.

But yay! Kirkus Reviews has reviewed If You Were the Moon (Millbrook, 2017) and had lovely things to say about it. Like: “In this inventive and spirited exploration, poetry and science come together to introduce young readers to the role of the moon in our lives here on Earth. ” And “Orbiting between poetic lullaby and astro-powered essentials, Salas and Kim provide a great addition to a nighttime-window reading shelf and/or early-science classroom.” So happy that the mix of science and poetry (it’s one big Things to Do If… poem, really) worked for at least one reviewer! Fingers crossed for more:>)

    • Thanks, Jan. Jaime’s art is brilliant. There is a glow and sheen that’s just fabulous:>)

  5. Congratulations Laura. Fantastic review. I am in love with the cover all over again. Release next year, correct? At least that’s what I saw as a “pre-order” availability.

  10. Loving all things about the moon, so happy that it is the topic of your new book. Congratulations on this fabulous review-not surprised-can’t wait!
