SynopsisA book that explores the unlikely friendship between a salty old woman and the sweetest man in the night sky, this charming story from the author of "Bee Season" shows the unexpected pleasures to be found when people come together. Full color., Angry at the moon for allowing high tides to destroy her village's fishing shacks, an old fisherwoman decides to catch that rascal and give him a good talking-to. However, instead of the moon, the fisherwoman begins reeling in her favourite foods. And a teapot. And finally some magically glowing cans of paint. Might these gifts have anything to do with the silvery, shining, round-faced stranger whostarts to visit on moonless nights? Chris Sheban's illustrations illuminate Myla Goldberg's salty picture book debut., When the old woman began to fish at night under the watching moon, the fishermen shook their heads - she'd never catch anything that way. But the old fisherwoman was wilier than they knew. The waves had risen to take bites out of all the fishing shacks, and what she was hoping to catch was the person who controlled the tides - the man in the moon. A book that explores the unlikely friendship between a salty old woman and the sweetest man in the night sky, CATCHING THE MOON shows the unexpected pleasures to be found when people come together.
