In this heartfelt, poignant story, an astronaut on a moon mission finds herself separated from her child-and she's heartbroken, but determined-to find her way back home. Based on a series of interviews with incarcerated mothers, To the Earth and Back will build empathy, bolster social-emotional learning, and warm hearts with an empowering, reassuring story of unconditional love. A parent may be lightyears away, but her heart will always beam back the everlasting starlight of her love.
