A sweet and finely illustrated story explaining why the moon is sometimes visible during the day. The term "children's moon" is used for the daytime moon with other explanations: that children can't stay up late enough to see the night moon, or that their eyes are sharper than adults' for viewing the moon in the daytime. Backmatter tells readers when to see the children's moon: in the afternoon, about a week before the full moon; in the morning about a week after the full moon. ( )

nice moon facts at the end of the book ( )

Every once in awhile you can see the moon during the daytime. Why is it there? So she can see the children. A charming origin tale that will resonate with little ones who will then surely call out the Children's Moon when they see it in real life. ( )
