Mable is an African American girl whose Gran tells the most amazing stories. When her Gran becomes ill, she asks Mable "If we can touch the moon, that what is impossible?" Mabel dreams of traveling to the moon in hopes of helping her Gran feel better. On the way, she encounters all of the most well known constellations. The constellations help Mable on her journey to the moon.
Engel’s illustrations are very bright and appealing. It could be used by a teacher or librarian to introduce constellations to older elementary students. It could also be read to younger children because of limited text on each page and the engaging illustrations.
