When the magical Moon King tips over the night, it spills across the land and sea, and he seeks the help of animals big and small to collect the stars and return them to the sky. Featuring animal characters from the great Canadian wilderness—moose, Arctic hare, wolves and black bears, among others—The Moon King is at once a celebration of Canada’s natural beauty and a sweet story of collaboration (told in verse) which will help children drift happily off to sleep.
