Illustrated by
Kate Berube.
A child in a brown, bear-eared hoodie decides that the half-moon must be lonely and vows to keep "him" company every night until "he" grows from a half-moon to a full moon. The mixed-media illustrations do a wonderful job depicting the night skies while still keeping the focus on the child; the rhyming text is exuberant if at times a bit forced.
