Full Moon Rising

Through the centuries people have measured time by the phases of the moon. From January's Wolf Moon to June's Honey Moon, and from September's Harvest Moon to December's Long-Night Moon, Joanne Taylor introduces the names of each full moon in a gentle narrative that follows the rhythms of a farm family's life. Folklore and real life blend in a beautiful new book about the seasons. The lyrical text is perfectly complemented by Susan Tooke's gorgeous paintings.
