Fool Moon Rising


A new children's book has just been released by Kristi Fluharty and T. Lively Fluharty. Here's a description of the book:

"Through this illustrated tale about the moon stealing the sun’s glory, children learn about the importance of humility and the dangers of pride.

This rhyming, rollicking tale tells of a crime of cosmic proportions: the moon, blinded by pride, fails to see the true source of his abilities—the light provided by the sun. He boasts of his ability to shine, to change shape throughout each month, and to swell the tides. One day, overwhelmed by a piercing ray of sunshine, the moon repents of his pride and changes his ways, and from that point on he is happy to reflect the sun’s light.

This beautifully illustrated book introduces the concept of humility to children. Readers will be reminded that everything we have, including our gifts and talents, is from God. Just as the moon learns to boast only of the sun, children—and their parents—learn that to boast of anything other than the Son is utter foolishness."

My friends over at Girl Talk warn "Mom may experience more conviction than child. How much I am like that proud little moon!"

You can check out the offical website to see sketches of the book and learn more.

We will be eagerly watching the mail until our copy arrives!
