About the Author:
From School Library Journal:
Jennifer Rustgi
developed a love of children's literature during her years teaching reading as an elementary school teacher and became inspired to write her own stories through her experiences with her young daughter. She lives in Austin, Tx. with her family. A Moon of My Own is her second children's book.
PreS-Gr 2—A little girl travels around the world in her dreams, with the moon as her only companion. No matter where she goes or how far away from home she wanders, the moon is her guide and friend. Her nighttime journeys take her to fantastic places all over the globe. She visits the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Taj Mahal in Agra, and a penguin colony in Antarctica. As her travels continue, readers can see the celestial orb transform through its continuous cycle of phases. The book's illustrations are beautiful silhouettes, with the moon as the sole source of light. Each page shows the little girl interacting with the scene and not merely looking at it. She swims with the fish at the Great Barrier Reef and stands on top of the Great Wall of China. This is a good story for young listeners and a teaching resource for older children. It introduces geography and some famous landmarks. An "Explore More" section is appended and includes information about the sights, a map of the seven continents, and a description of the phases of the moon. There are also additional moon facts and related activities. VERDICT A lovely offering to spark sweet dreams, and a solid purchase for libraries and classrooms.—Barbara Spiri, Southborough Library, MA
