<div><DIV><I>Has the moon ever followed you home at night?<BR> </I><BR> Max loves his grandpa. When they must say good-bye after a visit, Grandpa reminds Max that the moon above them at Grandpa’s house is the same moon that will follow him all the way home. And on that swervy-curvy car ride back home Max smiles as the moon tags along, thinking of Grandpa. But when the sky darkens and the moon disappears behind clouds, Max worries that it did not follow him home after all. Yet when the clouds part and light streams through his window, he realizes that Grandpa was right—the moon was with him all along.</div><p>Floyd Cooper received the Coretta Scott King Award for <I>The Blacker the Berry</I>, two Coretta Scott King Honors for <I>Honey in Broomwheat Tea</I> and <I>I Have Heard of a Land</I>, and an NAACP image award.
