Reviews

"Night-black spreads lit with warm, copper-tinged light show the boy diving into the sea for an exquisite pearl, then slaying a dragon for its diamond eye . . . It's clear that Alaimo is a polished craftsman in both mediums."
--Publishers Weekly

"An atmospheric version of the author's prizewinning short film, a lad woos--and ultimately wins--the Moon . . . In video and on paper, the art casts an evocative glow."
--Kirkus Review

"It leaves the reader breathless with delight. The Boy Who Loved the Moon is a transcending experience for children and adults."
--Midwest Book Review

"Each page is a wonderland of beauty. It may be classed as a children's book, but it is something for people far beyond the age of childhood and is certainly a booklover's and collector's item."
--Kids' Book Review

" . . . A touching tale about a boy and his love of the moon, a love that will not be denied, beautifully illustrated."
--Kinderlit

"A magical hero's story. Moving and inspiring."
--Rick Walton, author of over 100 published children's books

"The Boy Who Loved the Moon is a truly breath-taking story, with themes of love, perseverance and determination . . . This is certainly a book to be treasured."
--Honey Bee Books
