| Publisher Description: When Luna washes up on a strange shore, she is scared and lonely. She shelters under a wooden crate and dreams of a home from long ago. She soon discovers there is beauty in her new land. A smell filled the air. A smell like home, but not exactly. Along the way Luna makes unexpected friends. But will she ever feel at home in a place so different from the one she remembers? A heart-warming tale about adapting to another place, displacement, our need for community and friendship, and the life-changing value of kindness. Stef Gemmill's beautiful prose and Mel Armstrong's quirky, colorful illustrations combine to turn this book into a classic. Educators and parents will find the story's characters and themes thought-provoking and filled with content that will generate discussion both in the classroom and at home. This is a heart-warming story with a beautiful moral lesson about our shared 'humanity', our need for community and the life changing value of kindness.--rachaelcraw |
