A delightful book for little girls, and little girls at heart, featuring delightful descriptions and beautiful illustrations of lightning bugs, pretty pear blossoms, waving sea oats, and falling stars.

About the Book

Moon Wishes was derived from a poem about a girl and mother's nightly tradition before bed. After all, anyone tucked-in to happy thoughts and pleasant images is bound to have a good night's sleep and look forward to all the nice things a new day brings. Moon Wishes overflows with delightful descriptions and beautiful illustrations of lightning bugs filling the sky like stars, pretty pear blossoms illuminating the night, sea oats waving turtles in from the water's edge, and crickets rubbing their legs together from the tops of mushrooms. Moon Wishes began as a nightly tradition for one little girl and her mother; let it become one for you and yours.

About the Author

Skip's writing has appeared in the Tallahassee Democrat, "Magnetic Poetry Book of Poetry," The Telegraph, Western California Law Review, and read on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered."
