The cover is up! At least, it’s up on Amazon, though not yet on Indiebound. Isn’t it beautiful? Jaime Kim has created gorgeous art for this book all about the different ways the moon behaves and affects our world. I was a little nervous about how illustrations would look for a book set at night, but as soon as I visited Jaime’s website and saw her luminous, magical artwork, I relaxed. If You Were the Moon will come out March 1, 2017, from Millbrook/Lerner, and I’ll be sharing lots more closer to the time.
Meanwhile, the awesome Dylan Teut has been posting covers of forthcoming 2017 picture books, 50 at a time, on his Mile High Reading blog. Moon was included in Part Five, and if you’re a picture book lover, you’ll want to visit all the posts and swoon over covers and order or put on reserve the ones that appeal to you. My TBR shelf is bulging!
Beautiful! Congratulations! I’ll certainly be adding this to my book order pile!
That cover begs for the book to be bought! Can’t wait!
This is gorgeous, Laura! Can’t wait to see the rest. Congratulations!
Congratulations, Laura – it looks beautiful! Looking forward to seeing it.
I’m so excited for you and happy for your readers. This cover really speaks to me. I’m reassured that the man in the moon still looks the same and if there are no clouds he guides me through the darkness every morning as I retrieve the morning paper from its box; and, an owl hoots “good morning” from across the road when my sensor light comes on. Special thoughts and prayers for the victims of Matthew. May the man in the moon shine down on them.
That’s what I love about the moon. So steady. So there–every single night. Connecting all of us. Thank you, Martha.
Yes, it is beautiful! Congratulations!
Oh, it does look beautiful, Laura. Can’t wait to see your new book. I love moon books! Thanks for the other link too!
The cover makes me smile! Can’t wait to read it. Congratulations.
What a welcoming cover–can’t wait to read it!
Delightful! I can’t wait to read this, Laura.
Thanks, everyone, for your kind comments and encouragement:>)
