Read 6 times. Last read August 30, 2022 to October 16, 2022.
I wrote the book, and I am pleased with it. I'm particularly happy that the story is simple enough for younger children as a read-aloud book as well as appealing to older siblings and adults.
The illustrations by Sheila Graber, famous for her animation and illustration of Paddington Bear and family and Rudyard Kipling's "Just So" stories really bring out the story and delight children. The color palette is enchanting, for example with reds and yellows heralding the arrival of the cardinal bird, and happiness at sunrise, and pale grays and blues creating the enchantment of Moonwishes magic, central to my story.
I like the fact that my themes teach children about the importance of friendship, loyalty, family, home, and belonging. The most important message is, of course, about having hope and the power of self-belief to transform our lives.

“It's great to know that others can feel shy like me, too," smiled Luna, "and that I can make them laugh with my funny Moon Crater Face”

“Luna drifted off to sleep, hearing Ms Cardinal's song in the distance. Her eyelashes fluttered, and her body made little movements. She was dreaming of Maria cuddling her lovingly. What a happy dream that was!”

“WHO, WHO, WHO ...?
Who, Who, Who are you? replied Luna, looking up at the large brown friendly-looking bird, perched on a tree branch above her.
I'm Tawny Owl, and I'm here to show you some Moonwishes Magic.
Oooh, lead on, please! squeaked The Moon Pig.”

“At night, Luna dreamed of her mum's magical stories about a wide, wide world beyond the garden. Piggies dipped their snouts in cool mud and foraged for roots in this special, secret place known as The Wet Wild Woods.”
