In this clever allegory, the moon boasts of his power over the sea, ability to change shape and most importantly his light.
Until one day a powerful ray from the sun brings him to realize where he gets his brilliant light.
The moon repents of his pride and begins giving credit where it is due by boasting in the Sun.

A Snatch of Text:
"He saw his pride and then he cried
For all that he had done.
For he had lied when he denied
His light came from the Sun."
This picture book brings to light the pride of our own hearts and our need to repent and humble our heart in complete submition to our creator. He is the one who has given us all of our talents, relationships, and possessions. When we deny/refuse Him honor and glory for the things He has given we are "stealing" honor and glory temorarily for ourselves and ulimately robbing ourselves of God's greatest blessing, an intamate relationship with Him.
The book is written in rhyme and incorporates a great variety of vocabulary! It includes a list of thought provoking questions in the back along with some intersting facts about the moon. Overall it is a book aimed at keeping our hearts in check so that we don't get carried away by the desires of the world. If we are not careful it is easy to get caught up in the "things" of this world and forget the great treasure we have in Christ Jesus. Focus on Him and He will shape your heart!
"For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not recieve? And if you did recieve it, why do you boast as though you did not?"
