Different countries but the same moon! Moon stories from different parts of the world.
IBBY Turkey Children's Story Book of the Year 2012
After her entertaining and emotional children’s novels Perşembeleri Çok Severim (I Very Much Love Thursdays) and Bugün Adım Kaktüs Benim ( My Name Is Cactus Today) which deal with the problems of growing up, Hacer Kılcıoğlu is now telling the stories of children living in different countries around the world.. The common denominator in the 16 stories in the book is the Moon. The book takes its readers on an impressive journey through different geographies and cultures with the Moon that appeases our loneliness, enables us to find what we have lost, makes us smile, and leads our way with its light. The stories remind us that no matter how different our lives are, we are still members of the same universe, the same planet.
