Moon Song

Michaela Goade, illustrated by Michaela Goade

On an island beside a silvery sea, two Tlingit cousins experience a winter night together. One girl makes up a story to comfort her worried cousin after darkness falls. She draws his attention to moonlight in the forest, glowing life by the shore, and northern lights in the sky. Their nighttime exploration connects the natural world’s light with a sense of comfort while honoring Tlingit and Haida cultures.
