Man in the Moon Story Hour & Singalong

Man in the Moon illustrator Erin the Great will be at PRFM this week to read the book and lead a singalong with your little ones at 9:00 and 11:00 a.m. and will be selling autographed copies from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

"Man in the Moon is a beautifully illustrated story about an inquisitive little girl who reaches for the moon and finds a friend. This sweet rhyming tale follows our young heroine on a magical journey as she learns that any acquaintance can easily become a friend and no matter how small you may feel (especially compared to the great big moon) you are special to someone."
