K-3Green Light Readers series.
Illustrated by
Jess Golden.
When Lana can't convince her family to go to the moon (it's "far away" and "has no gravity"), she decides to go by herself. With glow-in-the-dark stars on her walls, some boxes-turned-rocketship, and a bit of imagination, Lana blasts off. Golden's watercolor illustrations effectively complement Silverman's text, which is just challenging enough for an emergent reader and dynamic enough for a classroom read-aloud.
