From award-winning creators Matthew Burgess and Matthew Forsythe comes a new picture book classic and an invitation to imaginative dreaming. If the Moon is the perfect lyrical bedtime book--a visual poem that soothes and smooths the transition from waking to sleeping.

If the Earth and if the moon,

if the whistling of a tune.

If you drift, if you dream,

into space, into streams...

Softly step on tender feet,

come and lift the latch of sleep.
