Grandmother wants so badly to be left alone to finish the knitting for her grandchildren that she leaves her tiny home and her big family to journey to the moon and beyond to find peace and quiet to finish her knitting.
Vera Brosgol's debut picture book is a smash hit! Award committees think so too, this one was given a Caldecott Honor in 2017. -Casey
