The Moth Keeper by K. O'Neill
4.0
emotional hopeful mysterious medium-paced

In a desert village, a group of folks choose to live a nocturnal life to keep the moon company, and to care for a small group of magical moths, the only creatures who can pollinate a magical tree which helps sustain the whole ecosystem. One youngster, Anya, volunteers for the important but lonely job of Moth Keeper. She yearns to be of service to others, and feels she must earn her place. In reality, help and friendship are only an ask away. This is a very beautifully illustrated and brief tale of responsibility, community, and resilience.
