A Full Moon is Rising
Review
By Publishers Weekly
Singer’s sparkling verses celebrate the majesty of the moon as experienced in settings around the world, each distinctly conveyed in Cairns’s perceptive watercolors. A “Broadway Moon” peers between skyscrapers as a girl, “an audience of one/ watches and silently applauds.” In Haifa, Israel, a family gathers for a meal under a sukkah: “Come rejoice in the fair harvest,/ in the harvests long past,/ and the ones yet to come.” The lunar celebration even extends beyond Earth, with a scientist in the International Space Station contemplating both Earth’s moon and the Martian moon, Phobos. The breadth of perspectives creates a stirring portrait of a familiar but no less marvelous sight.
