Publisher's Synopsis
One night a gust from her grandfather's blowgun causes Luna, the moon, to tumble from the sky and fall into pieces in the dark ocean below. With the help of the little fish and her own wiles and strength, she rises, beautiful and round once again, taking her new friends with her to create the Milky Way.
Pat Mora has taken a traditional Mopán Maya myth and transformed it to show a spunky moon who finds a way to save herself, making the archetypal journey from homeland to a strange new world and back again.
