The Moon’s Journey

Set in the 1950’s, this moving new picture book follows a young family as they travel across the ocean to a new home in a new land -- Canada

Based on a true story of a family’s journey recorded at The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax, The Moon’s Journey follows Faith as she leaves the only place she has ever called home to travel with her family across the ocean to a new home in Canada. Faith is very nervous about this strange new place that will become her home and can only hope that her friend, the night moon, will still be watching over her every night no matter where she and her family call home.

Royalties from sales of The Moon’s Journey will be donated to The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21.
