About The Book
Hello, Moon!
You look so beautiful tonight!

In this joyful celebration of a child’s sense of curiosity about the world, a parent and child explore the wonder of the changing moon together. Because sometimes all you need is someone to share the silence with.

Why We Love It
“This is Evan’s first book for younger children, and it is a masterpiece! Inspired by his young nephew’s love of the moon, he has created an appealing story with gorgeous art reminiscent of Ezra Jack Keats’s work in its simplicity and direct-to-the-heart appeal.”
—Reka S., Editorial Director, on Hello, Moon

Raves and Reviews
"Turk interweaves three elements with skill and care: a slow, thoughtful examination of a commonplace yet miraculous phenomenon; rich language in which to discuss it; and color and texture that capture the infinite reaches of the night sky and the bond shared by a close-knit adult and child."

– Publishers Weekly
"Loose lines and expressive faces convey the closeness between the child and caregiver. . . striking angles and perspectives keep each spread vibrant and eye-catching. This one pairs well with Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon (1987), illustrated by John Schoenherr, with a unique art style perfect for bedtime and library storytime alike, with age-appropriate STEM opportunities as well. Learning, empathy, and wonder in an ever shifting luminous landscape."
