Book Synopsis

A moving and magical picture book about the love between a young girl and the moon

“Luna’s here, there’s no need to fear.”

Bekah loves the moon, and she knows the moon loves her too. Each night, when shadows or strange noises frighten her, she is visited by Luna, who bathes the room in moonlight and chases away her fears. But as Luna appears less and less often, Bekah begins to doubt whether her love was ever real. When Luna returns, Bekah finds that even when someone can’t always be by your side, their love never leaves you.

From the author of Daddy Do My Hair and the highly acclaimed Onyeka series, Tolá Okogwu, and FAB prize shortlisted illustrator, Abeeha Tariq.

Our Review Panel says...

This is a book about Bekah and Luna, who visits her when she is afraid of the dark. Luna teaches Bekah a special song to sing when Luna is not able to be there. This special song helps Bekah to sleep and stops her from being afraid of the shadows or strange noises in her room.

This is a gentle story which explores the themes around being afraid of the dark and also includes some teaching elements about what the moon does (controlling the tides, for example), but should not be taken as a science book. The illustrations add to the story well, enabling younger readers to become enchanted with the characters.
