Description
A poetical softback picture book about a little girl who hopes to catch the moon and discovers seven ways to realise her dreams.Seven Ways To Catch The Moon takes the young girl on a mystical journey on magic carpets with witches and dragons, as she discovers the best way to catch the moon, equipped with only a butterfly net. She tries hitching a lift with a witch, riding on a dragon’s back as well as other adventurous ways to catch the moon.Each spread is illustrated in ink and watercolour in exquisite detail. The moon is painted in its various states, with aerial backdrops that take the reader from back garden suburbia, over a lighthouse and dragon-filled forests, to Arabia.This book makes great bedtime reading, ending on the line, ‘The seventh way is to close your eyes, and dream a dream of midnight skies’.
