Ladder to the Moon by Maya Soetoro-Ng

This is a very interesting children’s book about a little girl and her grandmother. The grandmother has died and gone on. She comes and takes the girl to the moon on a ladder. There the girl is taught how to love other people so that the people can learn to love and help others. She is taught empathy for others.



It is a tale by President Obama’s sister. It has a lot of elements that probably come from African American traditions. I loved the book and so did my son. I usually put books on the bookswap but my son is not willing to part with it. This one we will have to keep.



It is a very good book and it can teach young children about empathy and caring for others. I would recommend this book to anyone with children. It is well written and teaches a lesson that all children need to learn.
