Review Quotes

"The big-eyed, cherubic faces of this comfortably small board book with its simple, almost blocked color palette of deep blue, turquoise, yellow, white, red, and pink will invite babies and toddlers to engage ... The simple plot shares moments of Luna's day, evening, and bedtime as the moon looks on. The art plays with scale across the spreads ... Simple text and the art also present basic concept contrasts ... the quirky combination of elements is both intriguing and soothing. Suitable as a bedtime story, the final panel shows Luna hugging a sleepy moon as they wish each other goodnight."---- Children's Literature
