What are people saying about Man in the Moon?
“Man in the Moon”
is a delightful and welcome addition to the world
of children’s picture story books. Ms. Young Silverman (words) and
Wicker (pictures) have combined their considerable artistic talents in
producing a lovely book that should become a mainstay at both story time
and nighttime readings.
What child has not looked into the nighttime sky and asked questions about life and the meanings of our celestial friends. Young-Silverman’s narrative offers a whimsical commentary on the moon in saying, “You come only at night. I bet you are quite shy.” Phrases like this bring one’s inner song to light, and children will be entranced by the deft lyrical style of this fine work.
Ms. Wicker’s illustrations pair with the text in a vivid fantastical style. These drawings undergird the story with an artistic clarity that both children and adults will find engaging and entertaining.
“Man in the Moon” deserves a place on every child’s bookshelf, and will
provide a storybook setting for many nights of restful sleep
and sweet heavenly dreams."

It’s a lovely
little bedtime story
that rhymes, lilts and paints
a very special picture of a little girl
making friends with the
Man in the Moon
each night before
she drifts off
to sleep.

recommend this book
for your young children. It's now a
staple in our household and one
that we'll buy for others
as frequently as we gift
The Giving Tree
and Dr. Seuss's
best sellers."
