Catching the Moon

Catching the Moon by Crystal Hubbard is based off a true story. This story both empowers women of color. Marcenia, the main character of the story wants more than anything to be a female professional baseball player, and never gives up on her dream. The story is a good length, and the illustrations are very visual. They show the action of the characters and the illustrator uses strong bold colors. I like that each page only uses about 5 or 6 colors. It really makes the images stand out! I loved how inspirational this book is. I liked the afterword on the last page describing the characters life after the ending of this story with really quotes from Marcenia.
