Give Me the Moon

Come float down the canals of Venice, listen to the cello’s song, and let yourself be carried away to the moon!

Breathtakingly illustrated, this book tells the romantic story of a beautiful young girl torn between two loves. When she’s swept away to the moon by an enchanted boy, the musician Marcello lures her back with the power of music from an instrument made from a magical tree. This instrument comes to be known as the cello after the boy who crafted it. This charming tale is about how the choices we make shape our lives and help us to grow.

Gorgeously illustrated, this book tells a charming fable seldom seen in modern children’s books. Rich with symbolism and wonderful themes of self expression as well as self awareness and personal growth, this is the type of book you reread throughout your life.
