Description: "The Moon Seed is a reimagining of the real events following the Apollo 14 mission, where an astronaut brought along a bag of seeds. This is the story of one of the seeds, back on Earth...but longing to return to the moon."--
Brief description: Sally Anne Garland grew up in a small town called Alness in the Highlands of Scotland. According to her parents, her first really good drawing, at the age of four, was a large mural in crayon on the sitting-room wall. She went on to study Illustration and Graphic Design at Edinburgh College of Art before settling in Glasgow, where she lives with her partner and their son. When she's not drawing or writing stories, she has fun reading books, watching movies, and going on walks.
Review Quotes: Taken into space aboard a rocket, a sycamore seed spots something beautiful. Once planted back on Earth, the growing tree pines for the Moon, waking only by night and yearning to reach it - until at last it sees the dawn revealing that where it stands is the beautiful planet once viewed from afar. A quietly spectacular picture book, reimagining the journey of a seed aboard Apollo 14.--The Guardian "https: //www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/aug/23/childrens-and-teens-roundup-the-best-new-picture-books-and-novels" (8/23/2024 12:00:00 AM)
