I’m amazed at how lovely and beautiful this book is. It manages to be funny, and provides age appropriate information about menstruation without providing too much information which would either make the child or the parents uncomfortable.
It’s a stunning book that talks about a momentous event in history; the first step on the Moon. You must be wondering what’s so unique. The story is told from the eye of a young girl. June is waiting for her baby brother’s little steps to land whereas everyone else in the world is waiting for the astronauts to walk on the Moon.

What everyone will love about this story is the simplicity with which the story has been written, from a child’s point of view. What the child felt about his father’s arrest, about the British government and most importantly about Gandhiji – the fact that he was the person who could oppose the British authorities – all are wonderfully described by the author.
These Usborne Beginners books are perfect books to dive into a topic in greater depth and get introduced to some amazing facts. The photographs are comparable to National Geographic, and the text is very age appropriate to be read out to 3.5 years+, excellent for kids who are just beginning to read independently.
This book shows how the love and warmth of Mother Earth embraces everyone, while making sure that its beauty and serenity are not muddled and destroyed by people’s desires and greed to own it.
