# Molly on the Moon - Hardcover

by **Mary Robinette Kowal** (Author), **Diana Mayo** (Illustrator)

**Award-winning science fiction author Mary Robinette Kowal consulted with a NASA astronaut to craft her first picture book story, accurately describing how living on the moon differs from life on Earth. Beautifully illustrated by Diana Mayo, _Molly on the Moon_ is the tale of two siblings adjusting to their new home.**

When Molly and her family move to the moon, they can only pack the essentials--just one toy each for Molly and her baby brother, Luke.

Luckily, Molly has a big imagination. A packing crate becomes a fort, a tarp becomes a witch's cape, and some cans become a tea set. Baby Luke, on the other hand . . . has blocks.

Molly doesn't want to share. At first. But then she realizes that when you're on the moon--or anywhere else--a big imagination and being with someone you love can be infinitely better than all the toys in the universe.

**Inspiring and imaginative, _Molly on the Moon_ also includes fascinating facts about the moon's environment, revealing how the differences in gravity, temperature, and time would affect our lives.**
