Description
In the night sky, nothing is more magical than the full moon that rises
every month. When it shines, all kinds of fascinating things occur.
Tides rise to enormous heights. Children dare each other to climb a
staircase to the moon. Families eat cakes with a moon inside. Campers
watch out for werewolves. And sometimes, the whole moon disappears in
the earth's shadow.
Come along on a whirlwind tour of the world to discover an amazing collection of full moon celebrations, beliefs, customs, and facts. We'll visit India, Israel, Morocco, China, Australia, and many more places to see what can happen . . . when a full moon is rising!

Advance Praise
"Singer's sparkling verses celebrate the majesty of the moon as
experienced in settings around the world, each distinctly conveyed in
Cairns's perceptive watercolors. . . . The breadth of perspectives
creates a stirring portrait of a familiar but no less marvelous sight."

"Singer deftly invites readers to consider and appreciate Earth's silvery satellite through poems written in a variety of styles that offer a glimpse of how the full moon is enjoyed and welcomed throughout the world. Cairns' cheery, childlike, energetic watercolors, feeling the double-page spreads, make the diverse cultures and locales come alive. . . . Gentle and lovely, just like its inspiration."
