Why We Love It
“This is Evan’s first book for younger children, and it is a masterpiece! Inspired by his young nephew’s love of the moon, he has created an appealing story with gorgeous art reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats’s work in its simplicity and direct-to-the-heart appeal.”
—Reka S., Editorial Director, on Hello, Moon

"Turk interweaves three elements with skill and care: a slow, thoughtful examination of a commonplace yet miraculous phenomenon; rich language in which to discuss it; and color and texture that capture the infinite reaches of the night sky and the bond shared by a close-knit adult and child."

– Publishers Weekly
"Loose lines and expressive faces convey the closeness between the child and caregiver. . . striking angles and perspectives keep each spread vibrant and eye-catching. This one pairs well with Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon (1987), illustrated by John Schoenherr, with a unique art style perfect for bedtime and library storytime alike, with age-appropriate STEM opportunities as well. Learning, empathy, and wonder in an ever shifting luminous landscape."
