Does anyone recognize/know the name of this children’s book?

It’s a children’s picture book, and in the book I believe the story goes something like this: the family is driving home from somewhere, it’s night. The moon is out and the little girl looks at it from her window. It follows them, maybe over a hill, past a forest, etc. I believe she finally sees it from her bed at home, or something like that.

We used to check it out but can’t find it and my kids loved it so much! The librarians have no clue either. Help!

Papa, please get the moon for me by Eric Carle

Could it be ‘Took the Moon for a Walk?’ It’s a little boy and he is walking not driving, but similar idea.

Thanks, but no, they are definitely in a car and it’s for sure a girl!

It’s not by EC. It’s also an older book.

This sounds like Harold and the Purple Crayon, although that’s not about a girl.

Could it be a boy instead of a girl? We have Max and the Tag-Along Moon, but Floyd Cooper, and that is the plot.

The family is visiting the boy's grandpa and when they leave, the grandpa tells Max that if he ever misses him, to look up at the moon and know his grandpa is looking at the same moon.

Then Max tracks the moon in the car all the way home, over bridges and past hills and the like. When they get home, it gets cloudy and Max is sad because he's lost the moon. But then in his bed, he looks out the window and the moon is out again, and he thinks about his grandpa and how he was right about the moon.

It's very sweet. I believe it was one of the books we got through the Dolly Parton free books program.

Oh, ha -- I just recommended the Max and the Tag-Along Moon book. Funny how many books for kids there are about tracking the moon wherever you go!

You’re telling me! Quite the popular theme. Your book actually sounds like one my kids would love, so I’ll check it out!

I remember a book like this but it was a bear, not a child.
