Product Description
From Booklist
Ages 3^-5. Starting with a line from a famous nursery rhyme, this original lullaby poetically describes a child falling asleep. In a tiny boat adrift in swirling waves, a frightened, lonely little girl with an angelically sweet face wonders whether anyone knows she is all alone at sea. But as she views images that speak of the presence of God--the loving face of the full moon, the stars, the dove that flies toward the shore--she is comforted. The illustrations are somber but appropriately peaceful, their subdued hues creating a sleepy-time setting for the text. Jenkins' use of delicate gold leaf to outline the stars, waves, and wind lends a rich luminosity to the paintings that aptly conveys the wonder a child might feel in the presence of the mystery of God.

Book Description
Sometimes a small child is afraid to go to sleep at night. In this story, now available for the first time as a board book, a young girl dreams that shes all alone at sea in a tiny boat. Its so dark, and the sea is so scary. She feels lost and abandoned until the moon, the sun, the wind, and a dove lead her back to shore, where she realizes she was never alone at all. Based on old nursery rhymes, the poetic text by Newbery Honor winner Kathi Appelt and the beautiful light-filled paintings of Debra Reid Jenkins combine to make this gentle bedtime story a perfect illustration of Gods abiding love.

One of our all-time favorite books!,
This review is from: I See the Moon (Hardcover)
We received this book from a friend when we were expecting our first baby, and now, six years and three children later, it is still one of the most prized books in our family library. The rhyme beautifully expresses a child's faith in God, and the illustrations are gorgeous. A must-have book!

I See the Moon,
By A Customer
This review is from: I See the Moon (Hardcover)
This book has a great message that young children can easily understand. The illistrator did a wonderful job! The entire book is just beautiful. Our two year old follows the little girl from sitting up in bed at the start of the book to laying down at the end. The flow of words is soothing and is easy for our daughter to memorize as well. This book is always in the "must read" pile at bedtime and is cherished by everyone in the family.
