Hello, Harvest Moon

I love reading this book to my 8 & 5 year old boys. It's so beautifully written and it keeps their attention, and the illustrations are wonderful. I love to read books to them to strengthen their connection to Earth and the rhythms of nature, and this one is perfect. Highly recommend!

The illustrations are lovely, and the beautiful story is so lyrical text evokes great imagery of a lovely Autumn night. Memorable and moving. A keeper!

I bought this for my 7 and 5 year old grand kids. What a beautiful story! The illustrations are magical. It captured their attention and after reading it we looked up the date of the harvest moon and the hunter’s moon. I ordered another copy to put in my mom’s free library.

Pretty sure we checked out or bought all the Harvest Moon books out there this year - this book is our favorite. It's written in a way that you need to reflect on the meaning - which is great for initiating conversations and teaching metaphors. Or you can just enjoy the lovely rhythm and rich words at bedtime.

Beautifully illustrated and written. We read this specially for the harvest moon, yet my kids keep asking for it. My daughters particularly liked that the pilot in the book was a woman (goes along with see a woman doing that job, you believe you can too) and my son just loved that there was a plane in it.

My children loved loved loved this story. We read it so many time throughout September and October and they were able to infer many excellent facts about the Harvest Moon. Very beautiful photos and aesthetically pleasing to listen to as well.

Just a heads up to other parents/readers that are thinking this is just about nature and the changing of the seasons. While I am fully aware that there are religious groups that pray/prayed to the moon, I felt like the page about our distant ancestors focused on something more religious based, and I personally thought it was an unnecessary addition to what could have been a really great book. The book felt like it was for everyone until we got to that page, then it shifted to be about someone more specific. I was just bummed to see the book end that way. Other than that nod to religious history and practices, it's a great book!

Thai story is beautiful illustrated and written so well! I highly recommend it!

Beautifully written

Great book for younge readers and to have within the classroom. 3 star ratting because the book did come damanged, even though it was bought brand new.

Lovely book with really nice pictures.

Very nice story about the Autumn. My seven year old daughter really likes it and loved reading it to me.

the pictures are beautiful for children to look at but the text in the story is a little old fashion and hard for children especially of a young age to understand.
