"One dawn, when the Moon hears the laughter of awakening children, she yearns to see them. But the day belongs to the Sun. And he refuses to share the daytime sky. As the Moon eclipses him and lets him see the stars--he also sees his place in the universe! A pourquois tale that explains why the moon can sometimes be seen in the daytime"--

Description

Have you ever seen the moon on a clear blue day and wondered why?

"...Emotive watercolours...The well-told tale works on multiple levels...." --School Library Journal

There once was a time when the sun alone ruled the day, the moon graced the night, and little children were sent to bed before sunset. Then early one dawn, the moon heard sounds of children laughing, and she yearned to see them by daylight.

"Certainly not!" snapped the sun. "The day is mine. The night is yours!"

But the moon had a clever plan...

The Children's Moon by Carmen Agra Deedy and Jim LaMarche is an original pourquoi tale about finding one's place in the universe, brilliantly crafted with emotive storytelling and stunning illustrations.

The School Library Journal praises The Children's Moon for its emotive watercolours by LaMarche that beautifully capture a world illuminated equally by sunshine and moonlight. The narrative is applauded for its versatility, being suitable not only for units on the moon and mythology but also for discussions on identity, ego, and sharing.
