What is Silver about?

As the moon rises, the night is transformed into a world of silver. She glides over trees, cottages, sleeping animals and shining streams, touching everything with her gentle light. Through Walter de la Mare’s musical poem, young readers follow the moon’s quiet journey across the countryside, where ordinary sights become magical and mysterious. Dreamlike illustrations show two sleepy children entering a woodland celebration, as fairies gather for a silent, shimmering parade beneath the stars.
