In a galaxy spiraling white, on a small blue planet with a moon so pretty, in a green park in a bustling city, a little girl sits on a blanket with her family, eating a sandwich, an apple, and chips. Equipped with telescope and space book, Violet gazes up into the great beyond, imagining a rocket ride to the stars . . . and a soft, sleepy return to her blanket. Lyrical and meditative, this is the perfect picture book to savor and share during a late-night picnic under the moon--or anytime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAllan Wolf\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many award-winning books for children and teens, including \u003ci\u003eNo Buddy Like a Book\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Day the Universe Exploded My Head\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Blood-Hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBehold Our Magical Garden\u003c\/i\u003e.
