Beautiful illustrations; a gentle, poetic text. More a meditation on the passing seasons than a narrative.

Pretty book, but I wish they specified from which American indigenous culture the names of the moon come, rather than acting like all Native Americans had a singular culture.

Inspired by the Native American tradition of naming each month's full moon, Rylant (Newbery winner for [b:Missing May|1470176|Missing May|Cynthia Rylant|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183926206s/1470176.jpg|2856953]) explores the year's lunar cycle, celebrating the beauty of every season along the way. The text is beautifully complimented by Siegel's charcoal illustrations. Although the book features a distinct rural setting, even urban natives will recognize the comfort that each season brings in its turn. With its unique take on the year's seasons, this book is recommended for purchase in public libraries. Moon can be appreciated as either an intimate bedtime story or a group read-aloud.
