Reviews 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:>)
Congratulations Laura! The book sounds wonderful.
Thanks, Sandra:>)
Congratulations on the new release, and a great review to go with it!
Thank you, Matt. (Sigh of relief.)
Your text has inspired Jaime Kim to provide us a cover that is a poster for all times! And I can’t wait to immerse myself in this experiment of art + science. Brava!
Thanks, Jan. Jaime’s art is brilliant. There is a glow and sheen that’s just fabulous:>)
Congratulations! Can’t wait to read “If You Were The Moon”.
Thanks! A few more months, but I know they’ll fly by!
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.
Thank you, Martha:>) March 1 is the pub date (though Amazon says earlier).
Yay!! Congratulations on the nice review. Can’t wait to read the book.
Thank you, Buffy:>)

Of course. I’d be honored!
