The beloved chapter book by New
York Times bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith about the love and
adventures shared by a Cherokee-Seminole
boy and his Grampa now has brand-new illustrations! A perfect pick for new
readers.

What
do Indian shoes look like, anyway? Like beautiful beaded moccasins... or hightops with
bright orange shoelaces?

Ray Halfmoon prefers
hightops, but he gladly trades them for a nice pair of moccasins for his grampa.
After all, it's Grampa Halfmoon who's always there to help Ray get in and out
of scrapes—like the time they teamed up to pet sit for the whole block during a
holiday blizzard!

Award-winning author Cynthia Leitich Smith writes with wit and
candor about a boy and his grandfather, sharing all their love, joy, and humor.
