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
"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
"Superb bookmaking artistry." --School Library Journal, STARRED review
"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
