Moonlight Night

From a young age, he had learned to gaze at the sky and the night, especially the majestic rise of the Moon. “Tell me, Moon, how are you?” Pablo would ask. “Please come down. I’d love for everyone here to be able to admire you…” The Moon didn’t answer and didn’t move a centimeter—until one night, when it began to descend.
Written by Guia Risari in poetic and evocative language and illustrated by Paulo Domeniconi with great attention to detail and a brilliant use of light, “Moonlit Night” is a picture book in which text and image come together harmoniously to tell a tender and moving story about the need for beauty and the importance of sharing and enjoying it together.
A fascinating work for readers of all ages that invites us to discover the beauty of the Moon—an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artistic creation—and envelops us in its dreamlike atmosphere full of mystery and curiosity.
