Rise the Moon, Dial Books for Young Readers
A beautiful celebration of the moon and the magical sway it holds over all of us.

Rise the Moon by Eileen Spinelli is a beautiful bedtime picture book. Written for young children, the poetic story shows how the moon affects us all.

Starting with the lunar moth and going on to visit an artist, a rooftop dancer, a baker, and even a mouse and bat, we see how the moon awakens a talent within each of us. Whether we are driven to paint, howl, camp out, or follow the old lore of planting seeds by moonlight, the moon holds its sway over all of us.

Rise the Moon is a curiously soothing book that inspires dreamers in magical ways. We’ve all felt the power of the moon, whether we were children who wanted to stay up just an hour later or adults who sneak off for a moment on a moonlit patio. The moon captures our attentions and tells us we can live our dreams.
