About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child is beginning to ask questions about the night, or needs a gentle, reassuring story to wind down before bed. With lyrical, soothing prose, Rise the Moon takes the reader on a quiet journey, observing all the different people, places, and animals the moon watches over while the world sleeps. It fosters a sense of wonder and connection, showing how the same moon shines on a farmer in his field, a baby in her mother's arms, and a wolf in the wild. This calming, poetic book is perfect for easing bedtime fears and nurturing a child's curiosity about the world after dark.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is exceptionally gentle. The image of a wolf howling might be momentarily startling to a very young or sensitive child, but it is presented as a natural and beautiful part of the night, not a threat.
Ideal Reader
A 3- to 5-year-old who is developing a fear of the dark or, conversely, a deep curiosity about nighttime. It's also perfect for a sensitive child who responds well to poetic language and a calm, predictable routine. This book is for the child who needs a story to settle their body and mind for sleep.
