Full Moon Lore submitted by SBNB on July 6, 2020, 1:17pm Most of these moons I had never heard of, so I don't know if they are actual things that people say or if they were made up for this book. But it's interesting nonetheless.

Moons submitted by LatitudeB on August 22, 2020, 11:17am This book is beautifully illustrated. I loved learning the lore behind the Strawberry Moon, and the reason it is called that.

lovely illustrations submitted by camelsamba on March 5, 2021, 10:28pm Lovely illustrations. Nice explanations of folk terminology. Quibble with the blue moon spread, though: the "once in a great while" is actually every 2 or 3 years (which doesn't seem like "a great while" to me, but perhaps it would to a child?") and a blue moon isn't blue in color.
