Dr. Jon Jon travels to the moon to find out why it is sick since so many children are worried about it. He comes back and relays that it's not the moon that is sick but Earth. The children take steps into cleaning up the earth so that the moon will shine white again. Wonderful colors and illustrations and easy to understand for the very youngest. A great book to share during Earth day or when talking about conservation or recycling.
I received this book as an advance copy from publisher and NetGalley and am sharing review by my own accord.

Over the time, the moon turned green, so, on children's request, Dr. Jon Jon from NASA decided to give the moon a chekup to see if the moon is sick. The moon tells Dr. Jon Jon that it's fine, it's the Earth that's sick, and we (people) are the ones who have the power to make it better.

Through a simple and informative way, this story teaches us that we should change our ways and take better care of our planet. Humans have a huge impact on the planet, so why not make that impact positive?

Only negative thing I want to say is that I think the word 'moon' should be capitalized. It refers to Earth's moon, and it's name is the Moon.

This was a super cute book. My 4 year old and 6 year old love space so this hooked them and then it ended up with a really great message about saving the Earth that my boys are excited to implement. This would make a really great book for teachers to read on Earth Day!

A perfect book for elementary school teachers particularly around Earth Day. The illustrations are adorable and I love the book's message. With the helpful links at the back, any teacher could easily compile a lesson plan based on this book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Beyond Words Publishing for this advanced copy which I received in return for an honest review.

I read this book and was a little unsure what it would be like.

It was a different way of explaining to children about the impact that we are having on the environment and what we can to do help the planet. The illustrations were lovely, I was just not a huge fan of the Moon taking and that part of the story really as even my daughter who is three knows it doesn't (she is mad on space)

It is 3.5 stars from me for this one rounded up to 4 stars for Goodreads and Amazon
