I’ll Be the Moon is a heartening immigration story about a child’s courage and the distances we will travel to be with those we love. ​ The moon can inspire us and shepherd us across vast, lonely landscapes. The moon can also help us dream. With vivid and picturesque words by Phillip D. Cortez and imaginative illustrations by Mafs Rodr�guez Alpide, I’ll Be the Moon shares the story of an immigrant child’s moonlit journey across the desert to be reunited with family.

The imagination comes alive as a young boy tells the reader what he sees when he closes his eyes. Written by Phillip D. Cortez and illustrated by Nacho Garcia, When I Close My Eyes is a powerfully imaginative poem takes the reader to a place where lemon drop candy pours like rain and tangerine gulls fly over chocolate mountains. It's a place we'd all like to be - when we close our eyes.
