Description

"Be moonstruck with admiration at this beautiful blend of science, nature, and lore.” —KIRKUS REVIEWS

"Through winter, summer, fall, and spring, Each name tells you what the full moon brings."

Embark on a journey through the seasons to learn about the lore behind the name of each month's full moon. From the Wolf Moon howling in January's snowy nights to the Corn Moon lighting up the abundance of autumn fields, Kristen Witte's playful poetry illuminates the moon's special traits and the seasonal magic it inspires. Just as the moon reflects nature's cycles and seasons, it can also reflect how our personal seasons, feelings, and experiences change.

Luminous artwork showcases a variety of landscapes across North America and people enjoying nature in rural and urban settings in different seasons.

Inspired by full-moon names in the Old Farmer's Almanac, this poetic picture book draws on names given by Indigenous tribes in North America and Anglo-Saxon lore in Europe. Backmatter includes more context and information about how various cultures throughout history and the world have given different names to full moons during the year.

A gorgeous read-aloud any time of year.
