In partnership with Lantana Publising, this summer I revealed the cover of the picture book Sing to the Moon written by Nansubuga Nagadya Isdahl. Now I’m excited to partner with them again and join the blog tour for this beautiful book. You may be already be familiar with the dynamic author and illustrator duo of this book. They also created the equally beautiful book Sleep Well, Siba and Saba.
Sing to the Moon features a little boy from Uganda who likes to dream big. This story was inspired by the rainy days the author spent with her family in Uganda during the rainy season. It’s a beautifully written and illustrated story that shows the precious bond between a grandfather and grandson.

Synopsis
For one little Ugandan boy, no wish is too big. First he dreams of reaching the stars and then of riding a supernova straight to Mars. But on a rainy day at his grandfather’s house, he is brought down to earth with a bump. Do adventures only happen in galaxies far away or can he find magic a little closer to home? A touching story of a grandfather’s love for his grandson and the quiet pleasures of a rainy day.
