When the Moon Is Full: A Lunar Year
Ages 4-8. Mary Azarian's hand-colored woodcuts provide evocative, haunting nature scenes for Penny Pollock's eloquent read-aloud poems in honor of each month's full moon. Each new spread reveals a spectacular nighttime vista;
readers may well turn the pages as they would a calendar, pausing over the beauty of one scene, anticipating the next. The Poems vary in rhythm and mood, and are often arresting in their simplicity: Traditional Native
American names for the moon serve as the poems' titles (January is the "Wolf Moon") and a simple explanation follows. Additional information about the moon is provided in an appendix. This lovely volume will charm readers and
inspire them to linger under the nighttime sky. Hard Cover (book)
