It spins like a twilight ballerina, plays tug-of-war with the ocean, and lights a pathway for baby sea turtles. Discover the many other roles the moon plays in this whimsical and lyrical picture book.

This was a Hoopla August 2022 Bonus Borrows recommendation.
Illustration in the book is beautiful. The whale jumping out of the ocean was a particular favorite. The book itself does a wonderful job capturing just how important the moon is to earth and the many things it impacts (I.e. ocean tides, protection from asteroids, etc).
The one flaw was the placement of the facts about the moon and the verbiage. It was jarring and pulled me out of the story. Also, the verbiage might be too much for its audience. A toddler would have no interest in Clair De Lune or Emily Dickinson.
