Child of the Moon

Child of the Moon is a wonderful story for families with young children. The author not only provides the readers with a wonderful story, she also includes her angelic voice on a CD in the form of a lullaby that goes along with the story. This book is great to read by itself or follow along with the music. Child of the Moon is an excellent tool for bonding time between parents and children at bedtime. It is not only a creative colorful imaginative story; it is also a magnificent way to inspiring young children to become interested in literacy and music. I really hope the author, Jeanne Cotter, and the illustrator, Chrysa Otto, will team up again to create another amazing children's book.

Jeanne Cotter has written a wonderful book coupled with beautiful illustrations by Chrysa Otto. This book comes with a CD tucked into the back cover with Jeanne's beautiful voice singing the lyrics of the book. This book would make a great gift book for a child or god-child. The book works on a number of levels...for the very young as a way to introduce different animals, for the older child as a way to introduce the changing of night into day,and respect for the universe, and for the adults through the message of the gift of life in the universe, in our children, and within ourselves. My 2 year old likes it on a superficial level...and I love it on a deeper level. The CD makes a great lullaby for naptime, too!
