The Cantaloupe Moon - Paperback

The Cantaloupe Moon captures the gentle conversations between a parent and her child. Each night, the little girl notices that the moon changes slightly. Her curiosity and imagination are off and running as she compares the cosmic object to her favorite type of food: fruit. It becomes an ongoing tradition each night to notice the moon and find which fruit it resembles the most. But what happens when the moon is not shining? The little girl does not fret; she knows that the moon is only playing peekaboo and it will return once more.

Inspired by the author's three-year-old daughter, The Cantaloupe Moon reflects the simple wonder of gazing up at the night sky through the eyes of a child. As the moon changes throughout the different phases, the little girl notices that the moon is ever present, watching over her. She finds peace and comfort in knowing that the moon is close by each and every night.

As you read this story, perhaps you will also look out at the night sky. What do you notice? Can you see the moon tonight? How many stars can you count? There are so many beautiful aspects of the sky to find.
