3.8 Stars

The book is about a little girl who is told she’s too small to have big adventures. She sleeps on the grass under the moon when a fairy tells her, “you’ve had the power all along…” (reminds me of The Wizard of the Oz). The girl has a day-long adventure, talking to animals, birds, bees, and the sun.

As night falls, the moon reminds her that she can have her adventures irrespective of what others say. She’s got to be kind, brave, and good.

The illustrations are rather cute, with vibrant background and whimsical lines as characters. The overall effect is eye-catchy. However, I’m not sure about the target age group. The text (apart from being printed too small) has words that would be hard for kiddos to understand. The writing flow is a bit choppy and unlike the usual children’s books. Maybe the book is for slightly older readers who are still young?

To sum up, Under the Sun, Moon, and Stars is a pretty decent book adults can read out to kids.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Greenleaf Book Group Press and am voluntarily leaving a review.
