“Ceccarelli adds jolly notes aplenty with painted scenes of young partiers (an inclusive lot, featuring one with Asian features and several people of color zinging exuberantly around in zero gravity, ….“ Kirkus Reviews

“Ceccarelli captures the children’s sense of wonder in the images while presenting a degree of naturalism in the moon landscape and depiction of Earth from a distance.“ Publisher‘s Weekly

“The illustrations are bright, fun and dance on the edge of reality. Still, (they) hold a touch of more realistic details to give young listeners an idea of what the moon looks like.“ Bookworm for Kids

“The illustrations are wonderful, populating majestic moonscapes with a pleasantly diverse cast of kids whose joy is practically palpable.“ Good Reads reviewer

„The art work really is “out of this world,” (pun intended)“ Amazon reviewer
