When a little boy is flying his kite on the beach, he notices the moon - who is feeling sad, and tries to hug it, eventually writing a note to the moon on his kite and releasing it. Over the years, the boy studies hard, eventually training to be an astronaut and gets to land on the moon.
Another great story by Jane Yolen and her daughter Heidi E.Y. Stemple. There are a lot of "moon" books this year because of the anniversary of the moon landing - this one is dedicated to Neil Armstrong, but not, I believe about him. It shows how through perseverance and over time, you can work hard to obtain your dreams - even if it is something as unique as visiting the moon.
