Book Nook - John the Lion Goes to the Moon

I recently had a chance to see an e-copy of John the Lion Goes to the Moon

, written by Clayton Craddock and illustrated by Nathalie Kranich. In this 28-page picture book for ages 3–7, John and Daddy go to the Moon, meet unexpected friends, find helping hands and face a storm that tests their courage. 

The story began as bedtime stories made up by Clayton. It's a cute, imaginative world that is heartwarming and fun. It's also a great example of seeing diverse characters in books, which I always appreciate, because every child should be able to see themselves reflected in some of the books they read, and every child should also be able to read books that reflect the diversity in our world.

You can buy the book at Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
