review 1: Suhaila travels with her Grandma Annie up a ladder to the moon. Grandma watches for troubles on the earth and brings the troubled to live with her in the peace of the moon.Big, warm pictures and tender words make this a refreshingly kind tale.“When the sisters were refreshed, they spoke to Annie and Suhaila.‘There is still so much to do. There are fires to be tended, gardens to be weeded, and kapok trees to be seeded.’‘We’ll work together,’ Annie promised.‘We’ll throw in our hearts and minds, and work with our hands to make the land a little more kind.’”
review 2: The story is definitely not for the very young as it is rather complex and symbolic. When I started to read, I thought of the young women in my family - daughter and niece - who h... moreave never met their grandmother. Little Suhaila asks her mama, "What was Grandma Annie like?" Her mother replies that Grandma Annie was "like the moon...full, soft and curious." That night as Suhaila lies in bed, a ladder appears at the edge of her windowsill. It is Grandma Annie and she takes Suhaila to the moon. What follows is that the two see unhappiness on earth and they rescue people and bring them to the moon where they all live in harmony. The illustrations are amazing and convey a sense of fantasy and wonder in this story of love and fellowship. less
