What is White is the moon about?

As night falls, the white moon shines over an owl, who spots a fox, who notices a frog, and so the chain of curious animals continues. Soon, golden sunlight arrives, bringing new colours, lively creatures and a busy day in the natural world. As the sky changes from morning to evening, the moon returns to light the darkness. With gentle rhymes and richly detailed illustrations, this soothing journey through one day ends with a quiet goodnight.
