The Moon over Star is a 2008 picture book by Dianna Hutts Aston and illustrated by Jerry Pinkney.

School Library Journal, in a review of The Moon Over Star, wrote "Pinkney's remarkable graphite, ink, and watercolor paintings evoke both the vastness of space and the intimacy of 1960s family life.

Writing in the voice of a nine-year-old African-American girl, Aston is lyrical and sometimes evocative, though some of her narrative choices are overworked."

"[1] The Horn Book Magazine wrote "Aston provides a tender, lyrical evocation of a relationship, skillfully weaving in details that convey the historic weight of the event.

Likewise, Pinkney combines his signature cozy watercolor scenes of family with spreads capturing the drama of a rocket blasting off and the beauty of the earth and moon highlighted against the dark expanse of space.
