Description:
In this moving graphic novel, thirteen-year-old Reanna grieves the loss of her older sister. Can she find comfort through her family's Ojibwe traditions?
It's been a year since Reanna's sister, Chelsea, went missing on her way home from school. Without any idea of what happened, Reanna and her family struggle to find closure.
Driven from her home by memories, Reanna's mom moves to the big city. Left behind on the reserve, Reanna and her little brother go to live with their dad.
Reanna is hurt and angry that her mom has run away. She feels lonely and abandoned...but she is not alone. Lights turn on in empty rooms, and objects move without being touched.
There are little moons everywhere.

Review Quotes:
Takes on the difficult responsibility of expressing to readers that sometimes, even if it's hard, even if there are no true answers, some things are important to speak about, read about, and talk about. ...Storm and the art team beautifully weave a story about culture, heritage, family, loss, and grief in a tight-knit package.
