Back 
The Little moon
“Where the last house faded away in the wheat, there lived a little girl, who walked at night out in the fields, with a bucket of water to mirror the moon.”
It’s a true story, based on Tonino Guerra’s poem, about a girl who lives in a remote Lithuanian village.This single farm holds her entire world: family, beloved animals and the whole seeing moon.
