🌕✨ People often ask me where the idea for Let’s Chase The Moon came from.
The truth is, we really chased the moon.
When my children were little—and even now as they’ve grown into teenagers—we would run outside whenever there was a full moon, a harvest moon, a super moon, a blue moon, or a strawberry moon. The brighter, the better.
Our favorite adventures happened in the car.
We’d pile in with snacks, music, and excitement and head out into the night, driving through neighborhoods and onto the open road, wondering if maybe, just maybe, we could get close enough to catch the moon.
Of course, we never did.
But that was never the point.
The joy was in the journey.
It was taking blurry pictures through the car window. It was laughing and talking. It was sharing dreams, telling stories, and making memories. Some of our best conversations happened while chasing something we knew we’d never catch.
And somewhere along the way, those moon chases became Let’s Chase The Moon.
Today, I’m honored to share that same sense of wonder with children and families everywhere through the adventures of Amara, Dainin, and their loving parents, Valeria and Xavier.
Beautifully illustrated by Lika, Let’s Chase The Moon celebrates curiosity, family, kindness, science, imagination, and the simple joy of looking up together.
One of my greatest joys this year was reading the story to students at ICEF View Park Preparatory Elementary School and donating a copy to the library so future readers can enjoy the same adventure. I’m also honored that the book is registered with the Library of Congress and is already available in California libraries, with more to come.
Because sometimes the greatest adventures aren’t about reaching the destination.
They’re about who you’re with when you’re chasing the moon.
