Did you see that President Obama and his wife visited a school and read to a 2nd grade class? Well, being a librarian, when I saw that, I immediately wondered, "What book did they read?"
According to the White House blog, the book in question was The Moon Over Star by Dianna Hutts Aston, illustrated by Jerry Pinkey. Here's the story: On her family's farm in the town of Star, eight-year-old Mae eagerly follows the progress of the 1969 Apollo 11 flight and moon landing and dreams that she might one day be an astronaut, too.
The Library has this new picture book on order. I can't wait to read it! You can reserve it, too, by clicking here.
