The man in the moon william joyce7/4/2023 ![]() This is one of those books that reads like a movie you'd want to take your kids to see. What a fabulous, beautifully illustrated book that tells a unique story about the man in the moon. We will guard with our lives their hopes and dreams, For they are all that we have, all that we are, And all that we will ever be." - William Joyce "We will watch over the children of Earth, Guide them safely from the ways of harm, Keep happy their hearts, brave their souls, and rosy their cheeks. So I hope the kids can dream big beautiful dreams tonight. I think this story helps the imagination burn brighter and stoke our powers to dream big things. ![]() I'm giving few details on purpose because simply go read it.īoth the the kids were engrossed in this story. Having a guardian who protects our dreams as we sleep is also important to consider as it stokes our imagination, gives us hope and makes us feel protected in some way. Why does the moon glow? Sure the sun reflects off the moon, that is a great explanation. This is one of the best things I have read and several of Williams books are worthy of being recognized. I want to own this series as they are so fantastic and I can only ask why hasn't William Joyce won some Caldecott's. Children can feel this awesome light beneath the surface as they read his book. William is creating new modern myths with some of the most beautiful artwork. I read the Sandman first and now this is the Man in the moon. This Guardians of Childhood series is so fantastic. ![]()
