One night in winter, deep in the forest, Hugo, the young son of a shrew mother, suddenly had a cold head and hot feet and would not stop sleeping. The medical books said he needed a spoonful of wild honey from the moon to be cured. So the mother shrew took an umbrella and set off. She first encounters a great horned owl that threatens to eat her, then rides a night horse chased by a nightmare on the moon, then to the beautiful Valley of the Butterflies, and finally to the Queen Bee's garden. ...... Despite the twists and turns, she is a mother on a mission, and nothing can stand in her way. With soft watercolors and an unfolding fantasy journey, this magical and beautiful story by Kenneth Kregel celebrates the infinite possibilities of a mother's love and sends out a powerful confession of love-I love you enough to go to the moon and back for you.
