Dim the Moon is a soothing bedtime story for cozy nights when the world feels a little too bright. Perfect for ages 0-7, this gentle rhyming tale about a rooster who wakes up the farm, invites young readers to embrace the quiet magic of nighttime and the full moon.
Author-illustrator E. G. Creel takes a playful and imaginative approach to her artwork, using photographs of objects found in her garden and pantry to bring the story to life. Pickles become frogs, corn kernels glow as fireflies, and an owl is cleverly crafted from a pinecone, a chicken feather, and an apple slice. The moon itself is a moonflower, softly blooming on the page. Look closely and you'll spot the artist's "secret signature" -a tiny self-portrait waving from the owl's eyes.
