Noor and the Sleeping Moon

Every night, the Moon says goodnight to the little mountain village of Tilla. Then one night, it doesn't rise at all. Noor is afraid of the dark. But when a tiny moon moth named Lumi taps on her window with worrying news, she has to be braver than ever before. The Moon has fallen asleep in the faraway Valley of Echoes, and it has lost its light. If no one wakes it, it will sleep forever. Holding her grandmother's old brass lantern, Noor walks through the Whispering Forest, crosses a swaying rope bridge, and meets Grumbleshade, a giant shadow creature who turns out to need a friend. But to wake the Moon, Noor must give away the one light that keeps her own fears small. Noor and the Sleeping Moon is a warm, beautifully illustrated bedtime adventure about courage, kindness, and the light we carry inside us. Inside this book: A gentle story that helps children with fear of the dark. A kindness lesson: the "scary" monster only wanted a friend. Rich, glowing full-page illustrations on every page. A loving bond between a girl and her grandmother. A calm, happy ending, perfect for bedtime.
