"Once Upon a Blue Moon" sends children on a quest of discovery and sparks their imaginations as they search for the origins of their beloved Freddy. ?As I recount in my book Reaching for the Moon, my life's journey was filled with magic and wonder. In Once Upon a Blue Moon, S.E. Blakeslee captures the same kind of magic. He weaves a fairy tale that ignites the imagination and encourages young children everywhere to uncover the mysteries of this world and beyond." - Astronaut, Buzz Aldrin, Apollo 11. The adventure of a lifetime begins when two children befriend a mysterious visitor that arrives after the rising of a blue moon. With their new friend as their guide, the children set out on a journey across time and space, exploring ancient cultures along the way. Once Upon a Blue Moon is a fairy tale wrapped within a mystery and features a tantalizing twist reminiscent of The Mysteries of Harris Burdick by Chris Van Allsburg. This special first edition is printed in nine spot colors. "This is an endearing story about a fantastical creature told in four-line rhymes throughout the entire story," commented Susan Ledford, a homeschooling mom who evaluated "Once Upon a Blue Moon" for TDmonthly Magazine.
