Max and the Tag-Along Moon
Max and the Tag-Along Moon | Floyd Cooper
4 posts | 4 read
Experience the wonder of the moon following you home with a Coretta Scott King Award-winning illustrator! Great for Father’s Day and Grandparent’s Day! Max loves his grandpa. When they must say good-bye after a visit, Grandpa promises Max that the moon at Grandpa’s house is the same moon that will follow him all the way home. On that swervy-curvy car ride back to his house, Max watches as the moon tags along. But when the sky darkens and the moon disappears behind clouds, he worries that it didn’t follow him home after all. Where did the moon go—and what about Grandpa’s promise? Floyd Cooper received the Coretta Scott King Award for The Blacker the Berry, three Coretta Scott King Honors for Brown Honey in Broomwheat Tea, Meet Danitra Brown, and I Have Heard of a Land, and an NAACP image award. In Max and the Tag-Along Moon, his lush paintings perfectly capture the wonder of the moon, the love between grandfather and grandson, and that feeling of magic every child experiences when the moon follows him home.. “Coretta Scott King Award–winning Cooper has created a gentle, comforting story that will reassure children that those who love us are always with us.” —Booklist “Cooper uses his signature style to illustrate both the landscape--sometimes viewed from the car windows or reflected in the vehicle's mirror--and the expressive faces of his characters. Coupled with the story's lyrical text, this is a lovely mood piece. A quiet, warm look at the bond between grandfather and grandson.” —Kirkus Reviews

Whenever I order books I try to pick out a few for my children‘s Little Free Library. This is a sweet one in which Max and his parents leave his Granpa‘s house, and before he gets in the car Granpa says that the moon will always shine on him. Max watched the moon from the car window on the long drive home, and is happy to see it from his own bedroom window. The illustrations are just gorgeous, and apparently the author has a lot of books.

My gosh, my youngest daughter and I love this book so much!!

Since moving to North Dakota, we've realized that the moon shines so brightly throughout the night sky. My daughter has picked up on it saying how bright it is. When she received this book in the mail via the #ImaginationLibrary, I was super excited!! Such a cute adorable read!!

Review for The Ring Bearer by Floyd Cooper which is oddly not in the database.

Jackson's mom is getting married and Jackson has an import job, ring bearer. He's nervous he's going to mess up but he ends up being a hero when his new sister trips during her flower girl duties. Cute with a supportive blending of families.
