Description
The story follows a grandfather and his grandson, who love sharing everything with each other: their bedroom, candy, a passion for baseball, and even the name "Leon"—and so much more. One day, however, the elderly grandfather is hospitalized. He tells his grandson that he is not sick, but rather participating in a space agency selection process, so that he can go into space and pluck a star for Leon.
The book presents the perspectives of both Grandpa Leon and little Leon, describing their views on the same events and their current lives. To avoid hurting each other, they both choose to hide certain things from one another, comforting each other with white lies.
