Moon Patrol - Paperback

by Devin C. Hughes (Author), Shane Clester (Author)

Junot Díaz famously once said, "If you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves." "Moon Patrol" promotes the "story of us all," ensuring that children's bookshelves contain diverse, non-majority narratives of kids of all different races. A space exploration adventure and humor picture book series for young and early readers, focusing on themes of inclusion and diversity. Axis travels the galaxy helping the helpless, righting wrongs and solving problems! A race of aliens have altered their DNA to eradicate any diversity or specialty, leaving their world in ruins. With no one too smart or too strong, for example, there is no one to fix the machines, or lift debris out of the road. Axis helps show them the importance of diversity and the value of having different cultures in a society. Using his magical space age guitar, he adds color and variety to the planet and formally Grey Aliens.
