I have another children’s book worthy of your child’s (hopefully overflowing) bookshelf. Little and the Moon is written and illustrated by Justin Gloe. He worked on this book for his senior practicum
project and went on to win second place in the juried exhibition for his
work.

Go on an adventure with Little into dark caves, across misty lakes, and through the snowy wilderness as he searches for a friend and finds one where he least expects.
Justin Gloe graduated from Missouri State University in May 2014 and was brought up on a rural Missouri farm. Justin adventured through the solitary fields, forests, and hills of the area as a child. The inspiration for Little and the Moon comes from these escapades. Justin currently resides in Springfield, Missouri with a spunky wiener dog, two arrogant felines, and one really annoying neighbor.
The creature named Little is actually quite adorable in a monster kind of way. He goes on a solo adventure through the woods and has a special destination in mind. It is actually a nice change of pace to read a book with black, white and grey scale illustrations. It is still enjoyable to look at and is paired well with the storyline.
I would say this is a great book for the 3-8 age range. Little and the Moon is a 32-page paperback but made with the nice and thick paper that is very sturdy, even to 3 year-olds that are not easy on their books. It is available through Amazon and is self-published through Amazon’s CreateSpace and KDP platforms.
