Summary
This story follows a young Native girl who takes a weekly car ride with her grandmother from the city to their reservation. She notices that the moon seems to follow them, and she enjoys listening to her grandmother’s gentle voice, songs, and stories. One evening, her grandmother explains the meaning of Grandmother Moon, why she is important, and how she watches over them with love. The book shows the warm relationship between grandmother and grandchild and blends traditional teachings with everyday life. With soft, beautiful illustrations, Grandmother Moon shares Indigenous culture, history, and the meanings of the full moons. An author’s note at the end gives more information about the names of each full moon throughout the year.
