Francisco and Gabriel's Blue Moon Adventure

By Viktoria Vidali

"Francisco and Gabriel's Blue Moon Adventure" follows the quest of two brothers and their puppy Happy who are lured outside on the evening of a blue moon by a plaintive cry in the forest. What they find takes them on an exhilarating ride where dreams and reality merge. They team up with their old family friend and sailor, Uncle Rico, who participates alongside the boys on their journey of discovery. Uncle Rico, while imparting his knowledge of winds, clouds, and the sea, of rudders and sails, provides an example of generational sharing and respect. The protective character of the older brother, Francisco (11), toward his younger brother, Gabriel (6), illustrates the kind of loving relationship siblings need to cultivate. The path of the mythical blue albatross into endless space and infinite time beckons children to follow the bird's flight with their own inner eyes into realms beyond the heavens. The book's Glossary of Nautical Terms offers an easy way for parents and teachers to show young readers the power of a robust vocabulary. And finally, the story teaches that giving with an open heart is the key to real magic.
