When the Moon Forgot

80 pp. | Little | April, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-316-11390-8 $17.99
(3) K-3 Adapted by Sarah L. Thomson. One night, the moon doesn't rise. A boy's unconditional nurturing helps the moon restore its outlook--and its place in the night sky. The companionship also gives the boy courage to face his own fears. Illustrations in deep blues and bright yellows dominate this bittersweet tale. Exquisite details (check out the lurking creatures) contribute to the surreal tone, inviting contemplation and personal interpretation.
