Description
A poetical softback picture book about a little girl who hopes to catch the moon and discovers seven ways to realise her dreams.Seven Ways To Catch The Moon takes the young girl on a mystical journey on magic carpets with witches and dragons, as she discovers the best way to catch the moon, equipped with only a butterfly net. She tries hitching a lift with a witch, riding on a dragon's back as well as other adventurous ways to catch the moon.Each spread is illustrated in ink and watercolour in exquisite detail.
