product description

Description

A lyrical picture book featuring the eight lunar phases of the moon and how they affect wildlife on Earth told from the perspective of the moon.

? "This is a beautifully rendered piece of science, with enough poetic expression to draw in readers, but never growing sentimental or fantastical with the facts. The paintings are meant to be pored over, and this is likely not a book for reading once. It will certainly enliven story hours with its combination of repose and activity, all in one moon cycle....A generous view of the phases of the moon, written with great care, pacing, and illumination."--School Library Journal, Starred Review

"This beautifully illustrated picture book not only presents the eight phases of the moon but also how animals from various habitats adapt during these phases....Fitting dark backgrounds with luminous light that showcase nature's nighttime vibrancy set each scene....[an] attractive STEM selection."--Booklist Magazine

Some of Earth's most extraordinary creatures have fascinating connections to our elegant and mysterious friend, the Moon. Did you know that the low glow of a waxing crescent moon helps dung beetles scurry home? Or that coral spawns when the Moon is full?

Wild Moon sheds light on the fascinating behavior of some of the Earth's most extraordinary creatures in this whimsical nonfiction picture book, perfect for fans of MOON! Earth's Best Friend and Bedtime for Bo.
