Once in a Blue Moon

(3) K-3 Inspired by the titular infrequent full moon, the astute narrators of these fourteen four-line, free-verse poems observe what they see "once in a blue moon." The poems convey, in an understated way, the quiet joy that comes from pausing and looking at fireflies, butterflies, shooting stars, and other natural wonders. Naive-style acrylic-gouache and pencil illustrations suit the simple words.
