The Little Crescent Moon And The Bright Evening Star

This delightful, beautifully illustrated children's poem was written on Christmas Eve, 1996 for the author's grandchildren. On that date a rare celestial event occurred - a full moon appeared on the night of the Nativity. It is speculated that there was a full moon around the time of the birth of Christ. A full moon will not occur again on Christmas Eve until the year 2026. This fanciful story is about the Little Crescent Moon, who is sad because of its dim light and small size. It feels insignificant compared with the Bright Evening Star nearby. God counsels the Moon to prepare for Christ's coming, to be confident in its own abilities, and to honor God in its own unique way. This colorfully illustrated book is entertaining as well as educational. It teaches the valuable lesson that each of us can praise God in different ways. This book is excellent as a Christmas gift or for use by parents/grandparents, Sunday School and kindergarten teachers and day-care personnel.
