The Moon came down on Milk Street, came down with a very soft sound.Shh-shhh, shh-shhhhh, in pieces on the ground.A compelling story with a strong message of community and togethernessWhen the moon suddenly falls on Milk Street, a little boy wonders, "Who will make it right again and set it in the air?" His question is soon answered, as firefighters, rescue workers, and the entire neighborhood of Milk Street come together to restore the moon in the sky.Jean Gralley's dynamic images and spare text brilliantly illustrate the power of the human spirit during difficult times. This is a story of community, comfort, and brave men and women everywhere.Quinby Frank - Children's LiteratureThe moon, always a source of childish fascination, has come down with a "soft sound" in pieces on Milk Street. Who will set it right again? A rush of helpers comes to the rescue. A multicultural mix of young firemen, medics, construction workers, and just plain pajama-clad youngsters all work together to get the moon back where it belongs. The book's rhythm has a soothing Good Night, Moon quality, and the ending is reassuring as a tired platoon of children head back to bed. While young children will not catch the metaphorical reference to 9-11, the subliminal message that even the worst of calamities can be fixed with everyone working together will get through. The dog helpers are an appealing touch, as is the child with an oxygen tank on his back labeled "glue" for sticking the moon pieces back together. There is one adult woman in a bathrobe looking gratefully up at the restored moon. It is all there, danger, excitement, catastrophe, and a happy ending. The book would work well with Kevin Henkes' Kitten's First Full Moon and Frank Asch's Happy Birthday, Moon for a moon extravaganza. 2004, Henry Holt and Co, Ages 3 to 5.
