This sentimental story follows a mouse single parent as she or he shares with a child the love of reading, from the young one's infancy, throughout childhood, and finally to adulthood where we see the young mouse all grown up and reading to its own baby. Warm, tidy digital illustrations have appeal for both children and grownups. Tips for "Raising a Reader" are appended.

Illustrated by
Blanca Gómez.
A mother and child embark on their evening walk through the city, looking for the moon. The sharp-eyed child catches glimpses of it peeking out from between buildings, reflected in puddles, and finally in its full, bright glory. Luminous illustrations contrast the child's awe and wonder at the natural world with snapshots of busy city life.
