A Standout!

This book is wonderful. My mother lives far away and my 22 month old daughter loves this book about Grand Mamoon (Grandma Moon). The other day my husband and I were walking together in the evening - date night - and we saw the face of Grand Mamoon! It was so obvious. I love that my daughter will always know that her Nannie is watching over her. Even long after she is gone... This book is a treasure. A MUST have!

Unique, hard to find subject!

I *love* this book. Not only is the story touching and heartwarming, but the illustrations capture the magic and imagination of inspired by the moon. The girl begins the book by being unable to see her grandmother in the moon, but by the end, she has a whole new way of looking at things because she remembered the stories her grandmother used to tell her about the way ancient people viewed the moon. By the end of the book, they are having a sort of rooftop full moon celebration, drums and didgeridoos and all! Fabulous story -- I want to see more from this author and illustrator.

Hello Grand Mamoon! is a charming chilrden's picturebook, about a young girl who is very sad about the death of her grandmother. Her grandmother taught her a special way of looking at the moon - a magical way that reveals a shining, loving face. When the young girl sees the moon and shares her experience, she still feels sad that her grandmother is gone, but she also feels joy because she knows she is always being watched over. The stylized, bold art of Tamara Guion bring the beauty of the night sky to life in this delightful storybook, perfect for bedtime. Photographs of the moon on the last page reveal how anyone can see the beaming face of Grand Mamoon.
