Description
Description
From award-winning creators Matthew Burgess and Matthew Forsythe comes a new picture book classic and an invitation to imaginative dreaming. If the Moon is the perfect lyrical bedtime book--a visual poem that soothes and smooths the transition from waking to sleeping.
If the Earth and if the moon,
if the whistling of a tune.
If you drift, if you dream,
into space, into streams...
Softly step on tender feet,
come and lift the latch of sleep.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Superb bookmaking artistry." --School Library Journal, STARRED review
"Spare in text yet expansive in implication, If the Moon offers a gentle reframing of a familiar childhood experience and positions imagination as a steady, accessible counterbalance to worry." --Shelf Awareness
"Two kid lit powerhouses unpack the potential for beauty in the word if... Creative storytelling and art quell fears and reassure young minds." --Kirkus Reviews
"The poem's quiet confidence and the art's ambitious scope make excellent bedfellows, transforming a familiar premise--conquering nighttime fears--into something genuinely transporting." --Publishers Weekly
"[A] soothing readaloud ... Restless readers will return to this visual lullaby again and again." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
