Sun and Moon Tea Party

Praise for Sun and Moon Have a Tea Party:

“Lovely depictions of nature and people… . A clever look at how the Sun and Moon have different perspectives on what humans do on Earth.” —School Library Journal

“[The] colors drift and fade, giving a dreamy feeling to a celestial debate played out on the streets of a bustling, diverse community. Heo’s tale has the weight and force of a fable.” —Publishers Weekly

“A thoughtful, gentle introduction to the limits of one’s own perspective.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Stoop’s art, mixed media on plywood, draws on the underlying grain for a distant, windswept tone but occasionally punctuates it with small saturated pops, as in the lively morning glories. The result is a softly friendly world both in both day and night, with day’s inviting crowds giving way to night’s luminous beauty.” —The Bulletin

“This gentle tale can serve as a bedtime story or a picture book introductory STEM lesson for young students.” —Shelf Awareness


Praise for Naoko Stoop’s Pup and Bear:

“Adults and children alike will want to return to this title about caretaking for reassurances of love in the present and promise for the future.” —The Bulletin, starred review

“The lyrical writing makes this a wonderful read-aloud. This story of extraordinary kindness may also prompt a discussion of diverse families.” —School Library Journal, starred review

“The subdued visual mood is a lovely match for Banks’s unadorned prose, and the characters’ relationship to the harsh landscape underscores their resilience.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
