Moon Ladder by Rhonda SimardMoon Ladder is a whimsical story/poem of a father and daughter who "climb" to the moon. It is a fun bedtime adventure with beautiful watercolor illustrations by Paige Keiser. The father and daughter climb, climb, climb a tall ladder to the moon. While there, they gaze at the wonders of the night sky.

They dangle with one hand, and then let go with both hands to "crash" and giggle back to earth and back to bed. An inspiring autobiographical story of a dad who helps his daughter "reach the stars."

Mandy has the perfect life and is the perfect student; now she wants to have the perfect body and be beautiful, thin and graceful like the models and movie stars she sees in magazines and on television.

One day, when her friends tell her she looks fat in a new dress, she decides to diet just like everyone else. What Mandy doesn't know is her extreme dieting lands her into all sorts of trouble.

Age level: 10 - 12 year olds, but parents and grandparents will also enjoy this book!


Thin Club is the fictional story of an eleven-year-old girl who develops anorexia nervosa. It is very well written and well suited for that age group. The author documents the classic path toward self-destruction that a pre-teen child can travel, influenced by insecurity, emotional distress, peer pressure, and the public media. It is a wonderful primer for parents and children involved in this devastating illness.
