If I Were the Moon

Celebrates the magical, enduring bond between the caregivers who light the way and the children in their lives who are protected, taught, inspired, encouraged and loved unconditionally Adapted from one of Jesse Terry's favorite and most requested songs, "If I Were the Moon," this enchanted tale follows the magical and dreamlike journey of Lily Grace. The moon guides Lily and her animal friends through moonlit forests and many other adventures before transporting her back to her bedroom. Safely tucked into bed with the moon still shining brightly outside her window, Lily drifts off to sleep. Was it all just a dream? Guided by a loving narrator, Lily is encouraged to fearlessly reach for her dreams, while being reassured that she is safe and protected. From land to sea to moon to home, the fluidity and foundation of love that floats through the words will be felt by all readers!
