How to Bicycle to the Moon to Plant Sunflowers

Reach for this book when your child starts presenting you with wild, impossible ideas or when they are feeling frustrated by the limitations of being small. It is a perfect antidote to the 'no, you can't do that' moments of childhood. The story provides a whimsical, step-by-step manual for an imaginary journey, teaching kids that even the most outlandish goals can be broken down into manageable (and humorous) steps. Through ink and watercolor illustrations, Mordicai Gerstein celebrates the logic of a child's imagination. It is less about the science of space and more about the power of thinking big, building resilience through planning, and finding joy in the creative process. It is a wonderful pick for ages 4 to 8, especially for those who love to build, garden, or dream of the stars.
