Jesse Terry – författare

A sweet and endearing picture book that celebrates the magical, enduring bond between caregiver and child. Adapted from one of award-winning sing-songwriter Jesse Terry's favorite and most requested songs, "If I Were the Moon," this enchanted children's tale follows the magical and dreamlike journey of Lily Grace. The moon guides Lily and her animal friends through moonlit forests, and many other adventures, before transporting her back to her room. Safely tucked into bed with the moon still shining brightly outside her window, Lily drifts off to sleep. Was it all just a dream? Guided by a loving narrator, Lily is encouraged to fearlessly reach for her dreams, while being reassured that she is safe and protected. The moon is personified so that its power can be harnessed, while the reader is drawn into the rich and vivid fairy-tale settings, with a relatable and adventurous main character and her wonderful animal friends. Through rich colors and sparkling fireflies, this book’s message of comfort, adventure, and empowerment shines through like the moon and lights the way to inspire children to follow their dreams. The fluidity and foundation of love that floats through the words in this book will be felt by both child and caregiver.
