Descripción: A witty, weird, and wonderful spin on a classic Korean folktale, the first picture book to be published in English by internationally acclaimed Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award winner Heena Baek"Whimsically varied perspectives and the unusual depth of field offered by Baek’s technique make for an entrancing display." — Kirkus Reviews – STARRED REVIEWOne sweltering summer night, while the many residents of one apartment building are struggling to fall asleep, the moon begins to melt. Granny hears it dripping and runs out to catch the moon drops in a bucket. At first unsure what do with the drops, she is soon inspired to turn them into popsicles—moon pops!—to help cool down her neighbors.But as everyone drifts off to sleep, a new problem arises. The fabled rabbits who, according to folklore live on the moon, have lost their home! With the last of the moon drops, Granny grows a new moon from the potted plant in her window. As the moon ascends to the starry sky above, the rabbits return to their home, and Granny returns to her bed.Illustrated in otherworldly mixed-media 3D shoebox dioramas that use unique and exquisite collage art, this quirky and colorful picture book spins a new story from the common East Asian fable of the rabbit in the moon.From School Library JournalPreS-Gr 2-On an oppressively hot summer night, the moon began to melt. Granny sees the drops falling and runs out to catch the melting moon in a bucket. She has an idea to mix the moon drops into sweet frozen treats, but sets a few drops aside. Since everyone in Granny's apartment building has run their fans and air conditioners on high and opened refrigerator doors to cool, the power fails, and the only light comes from Granny's apartment. The pajama-clad animals who are her neighbors come to her door and are treated to frozen Moon Pops, which cool and delight them; the heat dissipates, and all are able to sleep. Granny's rest is interrupted by two strange rabbits who come looking for their home, the moon. Once more Granny finds the solution, using the reserved drops to grow the moon back. Baek's modern treatment of the familiar folktale about rabbits on the moon is illustrated with intricate mixed-media shadow boxes, and her use of actual objects and mixed collage lends a realism and depth to the apartments where the neighbors live; the moon and its products fairly glow on black pages and against the creatures' faces.
