  • Johnny in the Moon - picture book

Johnny in the Moon - based on a story by Thomas W. Lee
Retold in story and pictures by Betsy Lee Bailey, 2024

Johnny in the Moon - YouTube Video
Read by Betsy Lee Bailey
Music by Robert Gabbitas
The story my father told was purely a work of fiction.  His reference to real people was purely out of respect and honor.  The story of "Johnny in the Moon" is entirely a work of science fiction, however. the family story of how Grandpa told his story is true.
