How the Moon Regained Her Shape
by Janet Ruth Heller; illustrated by Ben Hodson
That mean ol' Sun, always flaring up at everyone. He roars at Moon, getting her all out of shape. But when she sees how many friends she has among animals and people on Earth, she perks up, poor girl.
Told and drawn as a Native American folk tale (I'm thinking Pacific Northwest?), the story should help kids understand how they can retreat from bullies and stick by the folks who love them. And, oh yeah, there's all these cool phases of the moon to learn about too.
As with most titles from this publisher, there's nifty facts and project ideas in the back.

Seth is always telling me what phase the moon is in.
