Emma Chichester Clark, Eliza and the Moonchild

Andersen Press, 9781842705773 | Suggested age range: 6-7

Up on the moon, a wild Moonchild tires of the dull black and white world in which he lives. Peering through a telescope he sees the Earth and all the colours on it. Slipping away one night, he zooms down to Earth. He meets Eliza who introduces him to all the wonderful colours and sends him home with a memory of them. Beautiful illustrations convey the two contrasting worlds of the Moon and Earth in a heart-warming story about friendship across a divide.
