Music and nostalgia take center stage in this gently humorous road trip story.

Following a major life upheaval, Lester LaFleur decides to leave the city for good. With his guitar on his back and cowboy boots on his feet, Lester heads west across Canada, playing his hurtin' songs in empty taverns and to anyone who cares to listen. As Lester travels across the country, he meets others who appreciate his music and share his experiences--and develops a deep kinship with his fellow drifters. As they ride together toward their unknown fortunes, adventures ensue.

In Moon Boots, award-winning cartoonist Lorenz Peters (On Vinyl) uses gentle humour and expressive lines to explore the nostalgia of a hidden world beyond mobile phones and small plate restaurants--and discovers that sometimes, home is the open road and family is the people you meet along the way.
