I received a digital ARC copy in exchange for a review.

TO THE MOON AND BACK is a sweet tribute to the limitless nature of a mother's love. In this story, a little boy enjoys adventures across the universe. Anywhere he goes, his mom is there to help him and be with him.
I really enjoyed the colorful illustrations and imaginative means of transportation included in this book. (A magic train, cosmic ship, and slingshot, to name a few.)

To The Moon and Back is a fun, rhyming story about a curious baby who keeps finding themselves in tricky situations. Luckily their mother uses all of her best plans to keep her baby safe and helps them return back to her time and again.

This sweet book is perfect for kids who love rhyming stories and have a big sense of adventure. The space theme is magical and with other childhood favorites sprinkled in as well, every kid's imagination will be soaring. Complete with beautiful and whimsical illustrations, this is sure to become one of your family's favorite books.

Thank you so much to the author for sending an advance reading copy!

Release date is during February 2022.

To The Moon And Back is a story about a mother and her child. She is telling them that she will always be there and will always find them. It is a very heartwarming tale.

Colourful and bright illustrations make this book even more lovely and it's perfect for a child who likes adventure.

It has a nice rhyming flow to the words and I think this will be a favourite for many when it is released early next year.

A "warm and happy place" is on every illustration and shines through in every sentence of this heart-warming book. But what you might not know is that it's inspired by the sweetest conversation between a mom and the big sister of a little brother. It's a rare children's book where the illustrations and copy work hand in hand to move the reader into a space that's away from the day's cares and tribulations. Even if your children have left the nest, reading this book will take you back to those sweet afternoons reading in a rocking chair or that bedtime reading session. Lindsay Gizicki's book To The Moon and Back is a wonderful addition to any child's reading library -- and will make parents/caregivers happy as well.

“I love you to the moon and back” is often used to express the vastness of one’s affection but in the rhyming board book TO THE MOON AND BACK by Lindsay Gizicki, one determined mother stops at nothing to show how much love she has for her child. “I will follow you to the moon and back, wherever you will go,” she assures her little one. This means building a tall ladder to reach the stars, lighting fireworks to guide the young astronaut home, and even building a space chariot if the child sling shots too far into space. A heartwarming, delightful book with beautiful, imaginative illustrations by Eleonora Petrova. Perfect bedtime book to calm your loved ones and guarantee sweet dreams.

A beautiful story about the leaps and bounds a mother will do for her child. To the moon and back is an adventure story that is so fun for children while also pulling at the heart strings of the ones that love them. The colors and illustrations are gorgeous and I have a special display of this book on my book shelf.

A great, colorful boardbook. Despite a baby’s many pretend adventures into space, mom manages to invent magical ways of following to protect and love. The drawings are playful and fun. The rhymes are enjoyable to read. Great way to introduce imagination to your toddler.
