From the days of early humans, people have used folklore to explain why events of nature occur. Influenced by Native American folktales, this fascinating story helps to explain the phases of the moon, while also providing a life lesson to children as they observe how "the Moon" was able to overcome her adversity and build self-confidence. After the sun insults her, the moon is very hurt and disappears - much to the chagrin of rabbits who miss their moonlight romps. With the help of her many friends and admirers, the moon regains her self-confidence each day until she is back to her full size. Ben Hodson's art is incredible! Ben created the artwork for this book using acrylic paints, handmade papers, old wallpaper, pencil crayons, gesso, ink, and glue on watercolor paper. The shadows were added digitally to give it depth.
