In her journey North, a child is shepherded by the moon as she aims to reunite with her father across the border. With vivid and picturesque words by Phillip D.

Poetic and moving, Ill Be The Moon is the rare bedtime story that begins only as the book ends. Elizabeth Gonzalez James, author of Mona at Sea and The Bullet Swallower

Cortez's simple but rich telling of a child's view of crossing the desert brilliantly engages all of the senses as you follow the desert path with the moon as a familiar guide. Rebecca Calderon, Ysleta ISD (TX) Library & Innovative Learning Department
