The Love of the MoonlightThe Love of the Moonlight

"If we loved, much like the moon, then would we be as kind?" On a sleepless night, while gazing up at the skies, a child realizes that the world would be a better place if we acted with empathy and understanding. Around the world, we all look up at the same moon and it shines down on each person equally. The moon isn't afraid to share its sky with the stars; the moon knows the stars don't take away its ability to shine. This heartfelt, rhyming story is a great conversation starter on kindness and equality for children with illustrations capturing all walks of life. ". . . Buckner invites readers to view the moon as a model of peace, comfort, and love in this message-driven picture book."-Publishers Weekly "A nighttime poem rooted in a city landscape, encouragement to be compassionate, and, of course, moonlight. . . . The palette of blues, reds, greens, and black is expertly shaded, conveying a dreamy mood appropriate to the subject."-Kirkus Reviews
