"White Is The Moon"



Acornmoon Books is proud to present “White is the Moon”  a picture book for children ages 0 to 99.

It was first published by Blackie and Son Ltd but later went out of print. After many requests for the book I decided to republish myself as an Acornmoon Book.

This is a paperback edition, it has 32 pages, full colour illustrations and a simple rhythmical text. The natural world provides a series of colourful scenes during the course of one twenty-four-hour period, as white moon is superseded by golden sun above a host of active animals. It shows the transition from night to day back into night making it a book for sharing at bedtime and I have been told that it has become a favourite with many families. The book has also been popular in schools, this new addition has some extra information at the back- two pages of information about the animals featured.

I was able to oversee the production and am very happy with the results. The cover has a matt lamination with gloss in selected areas and the paper quality is much nicer than some previous editions I have seen.


If you wish I can sign the book and add a dedication, just send me a note first.

Some of these illustrations are also available as prints in my Etsy shop.

The book will ship from the UK so please allow time for delivery.
