"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" . . . A touching tale about a boy and his love
of the moon, a love that will not be denied, beautifully
illustrated."
--Kinderlit"A magical hero's story. Moving and inspiring."
--Rick Walton, author of over 100 published children's books"The
Boy Who Loved the Moon is a truly breath-taking story, with themes
of love, perseverance and determination . . . This is certainly a
book to be treasured."
--Honey Bee Books
