Overview
Cuddle up with this celebration of winter and explore the wonders of nature's light with Moon Song from Caldecott Medalist Michaela Goade. On an island at the edge of a silvery sea, when the moon rises and night falls, a girl spins a story for her worried cousin to help him find comfort in the wintery dark. She invites him to see moonlight glittering in the forest, bioluminescence sparkling by the shore, and northern lights blazing in the sky. In the dark of the night, the whole world sings. Celebrated Tlingit creator Michaela Goade, who brought us a summer's celebration in the Caldecott Honor Award-winning Berry Song, invites us to discover the wonder and comfort of a winter's night through a magnificent Moon Song.
