Lullaby Moon
Synopsis:
Written by Elaine Masters,
Illustrated by Tammy Yee
A dreamy adventure about Koa, a little Hawaiian boy who would rather play outside than fall asleep. Koa soon finds himself befriended by an owl, or Pueo, who takes him on a magical exploration of the island's wildlife. Under the watchful gaze of Lullaby Moon, Koa learns how bats, bees and green sea turtles spend their night. With boldly illustrated lift-a-flaps and a musical CD by Malia Elliot, of the popular performing and songwriting duo, Leon & Malia.

Author Comment:
What intrigued me about "Lullaby Moon" was Elaine's artful blending of a whimsical bedtime story with informative facts about Hawaiian wildlife, in a lift-a-flap format. It was a challenging project— one that I am sure will delight sleepy keiki everywhere.
