Beautiful Moon: A Child's Prayer

24 pp. | Abrams | November, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4197-0792-6 $16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Velasquez. By the light of a full moon, a young boy says his bedtime prayers. In addition to praying for his family members, he prays for the sick to be well, an end to war, and food for the hungry. Velasquez's large full-bleed paintings portray a diverse if static urban setting. There is much sadness here, but this quiet book does offer some hope.
