Fool Moon Rising

Through this illustrated tale about the moon stealing thesun's glory, children learn about the importance of humility andthe dangers of pride.

This rhyming, rollicking tale tells of a crime of cosmicproportions: the moon, blinded by pride, fails to see the truesource of his abilities-the light provided by the sun. He boasts ofhis ability to shine, to change shape throughout each month, and toswell the tides. One day, overwhelmed by a piercing ray ofsunshine, the moon repents of his pride and changes his ways, andfrom that point on he is happy to reflect the sun's light.

This beautifully illustrated book introduces the concept ofhumility to children. Readers will be reminded that everything wehave, including our gifts and talents, is from God. Just as themoon learns to boast only of the sun, children-and theirparents-learn that to boast of anything other than the Son is utterfoolishness.
