A Simple but Brilliant Plan in 24 Easy Steps
A young boy with spiky red hair and glasses decides the moon needs sunflowers to cheer it up.

The instructions are inventive, straightforward, and outlandish. Caldecott medalist Gerstein’s comic illustrations complement the humorous deadpan narration. Join this thrilling flight to the moon!
