Ladder to the Moon

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yuyi Morales. One night, young Suhaila meets her loving grandmother (who has died), and they climb a ladder to the moon. From there, they reach down to Earth, connecting with people of various cultures and helping those in trouble. Memorable art, full of rounded, powerful human figures, illustrates this abstract teaching tale in which the story line is primarily a vehicle for the (worthy) message.
