Emile, the bear, is a member of the night creatures, and they have honored him with the job of moon keeper. this job requires Emile to look after the moon each night. Most nights there isn’t much to do but talk to the moon and come to recognize how beautiful the moon is. One evening Emile sees that the moon is getting smaller – he has failed his job! with the help of a small green bird – Emile learns the secrets of the moon.  The sparse text that accompanies large full page illustrations done in gouache and colored pencils that lend to this quiet, gentle story about nature and friendship. this is a true picture book. Pair it with the many books of fiction and non fiction on the moon.
