Praise for Hello, Moon

"Turk interweaves three elements with skill and care: a slow, thoughtful examination of a commonplace yet miraculous phenomenon; rich language in which to discuss it; and color and texture that capture the infinite reaches of the night sky and the bond shared by a close-knit adult and child."
— Publishers Weekly

"Loose lines and expressive faces convey the closeness between the child and caregiver. . . striking angles and perspectives keep each spread vibrant and eye-catching. This one pairs well with Jane Yolen’s Owl Moon (1987), illustrated by John Schoenherr, with a unique art style perfect for bedtime and library storytime alike, with age-appropriate STEM opportunities as well. Learning, empathy, and wonder in an ever shifting luminous landscape."
