Jewel and her grandparents set off through the moonlit hills and hollers for graduation night at their moonlight school, where adults from all walks of life attend to learn. A coalminer can sign his full name for the first time in his life; one man is paid 50+ more a day since learning basic maths; Widow Morrison can finally write to her nine children after years of lost connection-and Papaw will be able to read Jewel a story tonight. Best-selling author Kim Michele Richardson's delightful picture book is based on the early twentieth century's real-life Moonlight Schools, pairing engaging, authentic text with vibrant, energetic artwork to craft a heartfelt and timely reminder of the power of education to connect and change lives.
