The Moon and the Whippoorwill - Paperback

by Michael G. Gillespie (Author)

Whippoorwills are small nocturnal birds who sleep during the day and play at night. Whippoorwills have a clear and distinctive song. This is the story of a Whippoorwill who loves the Moon. It is a poem of renewal and optimism. We know the cycle of the Moon. The Moon waxes until it becomes full and bright, then the Moon wanes until it becomes new and dark. The Whippoorwill sees this and worries that the Moon is going away. This poem is the Whippoorwill's song to the Moon. It is a kind little story about feeling loss and renewal, finding optimism during grief. The story was written by Michael Gillespie. The beautiful paintings in the background were painted by Britt Harrison. The little figures were drawn by Michael Gillespie.
