The Moon is a Silver Pond, The Sun is a Peach

Sara Cassidy (author)

Publisher: Orca Book Publishers ISBN: 9781459834903

Reveling in metaphor, with two books in one, this book encourages a magical leap of imagination and asks the reader to look at everyday objects from a different perspective. That moon is a silver pond when seen through the trees, and when they tend the cow, the moon is the milk at the bottom of the pail. The sun takes the form of the yolk of an egg, a spool of thread, the eye of a bird, an ice-cream cone and a dandelion.

Watch as nature reclaims this town.
