This beautiful adaptation of the beloved The Boy and The Moon - winner of multiple international independent film awards - tells the story of a boy who swims the deepest seas and slays the mightiest dragons to win the Moon's love.
"Night-black spreads lit with warm, copper-tinged light show the boy diving into the sea for an exquisite pearl, then slaying a dragon for its diamond eye . . . It's clear that Alaimo is a polished craftsman in both mediums." -Publishers Weekly
"An atmospheric version of the author's prizewinning short film, a lad woos-and ultimately wins-the Moon . . . In video and on paper, the art casts an evocative glow." -Kirkus Review
"It leaves the reader breathless with delight. The Boy Who Loved the Moon is a transcending experience for children and adults." -Midwest Book Review
"Each page is a wonderland of beauty. It may be classed as a children's book, but it is something for people far beyond the age of childhood and is certainly a booklover's and collector's item." -Kids' Book Review
