This is the kind of book from a small publisher outside the US that we need in libraries. Gorgeous, finely detailed pencil drawings settle the mind while you breathe & absorb the soft message, Absolutely stunning. There are words, but only a few, to remind us that quiet can speak volumes. #kidlit 📚👍🏼

The Moonwind series is so good! Each book is even better than the one before. I just finished Book 4, The Lady of Shadows, and it's my favorite so far. It was also the spookiest of the series. Now i just wish we didn't have to wait until November for Book 5. It feels so far away. 📚
