Influenced by Native American folktales, this fascinating story deals with overcoming adversity, self-confidence, and understanding the phases of the moon. After the sun insults her, the moon gets very upset and disappears - much to the chagrin of rabbits who miss their moonlight romps. With the help of her many friends and admirers, the moon gains self-confidence each day until she is back to her full size. The “For Creative Minds” section explains the phases of the moon and answers those pesky questions like “why is the moon up during the day?”, and “why does the shape of the moon change?
