Other editions of book The Moon Dancers

This poetic and tender story takes place under a full moon on a warm summer evening. The neighborhood children all meet to play barefoot in the grass. They dance together, excited by their own shadows and feeling so carefree. The moon is the audience that looks down and smiles at this grassy stage of young dancers, as if it were a choreographed performance. It doesn’t matter who they are, or what they look like. They laugh and play together making a beautiful show. When it’s almost time for bed, the dancers look up at the smiling moon and together they all agree, that they will meet and dance again next time the moon is full and bright. This story reflects a shared appreciation for the simple pleasures and natural beauty in life, among children without judgment of one another.
