Almost a Full Moon

In this, the perfect picturebook for slow-living families, a boy and his grandmother host a gathering in their small cabin in the middle of winter. Friends travel from near and far, and some new friends even turn up. The walls of the cabin are elastic and the soup pot bottomless; all are welcome. Based on the lyrics of Hawksley Workman's song from his Christmastime album Almost a Full Moon, this book evokes both the cold and the cosiness of a winter's night: crisp clean air, sparkling snow, the light of the moon, welcoming windows, glowing candles, family and friends.
