The Day the Moon Came Out to Play
by Renato Moriconi

When unnoticed, the Moon can do very strange things up in the sky. In these exercises of style, Renato Moriconi creates a magical book, playing with perception and imagination.

Have you ever seen the Sun and the Moon in the sky at the same time? When it happens the Sun steals the show leaving Moon free to break the rules and play around. You might see her transform into the sail of a boat, an umbrella, or a parachute.  On special days, she even hides our brightest star to create a total eclipse of the Sun!

Young readers will enjoy this game of invention that invites them to imagine what the Moon will do the next time they see her up in the sky.
