Description
Like many children, Moon leads a busy life. School, homework, music lessons, sports, and the next day it begins again. She wonders if things could be different. Then, one night, she meets a wolf.
The wolf takes Moon deep into the dark, fantastical forest and there she learns to howl, how to hide, how to be still, and how to be wild. And in that, she learns what it's like to be free.
This simply worded and stunningly illustrated story reveals the joy to be found in play, nature, and, most of all, embracing the wild in us all.

Reviews / Votes
"Convincingly and sweetly told, Moon's story is a striking authorial debut from illustrator Oliver." - Kirkus Reviews"A paean to Where the Wild Things Are that reminds readers of the importance of play and of stillness in a busy world." - Booklist
"In her debut as author, Oliver (illustrator of the BabyLit board book series) handles her story's pacing with skill, setting up just enough backstory to establish Moon's frustration, then lavishing attention on her midnight encounter." - Publishers Weekly
"An upbeat and howling-good read-aloud." - School Library Journal
