Book of Moons

Donna and Greg Browns A Book of Moons is a collection of poems about the twelve full moons, according to names given to them by the Algonquin tribes. These moons watch the cycle of the seasons as they progress from lonely winter through the thaw of spring, into summers warmth, then to autumns harvest and back to cold, frosty winter. Exposing children to poetry helps strengthen vocabulary, language and rhythm in children. Each poem in A Book of Moons is accompanied with a beautiful illustration by Bradley Wilson. Working together, the poems and the illustrations will bring an increased appreciation of the moon, earth, and language.
