Synopsis
How the Moon Became Dim is inspired by an ancient Hebrew text about the Sun and Moon's creation. Originally, both were the same size and emitted an equal amount of light. The Moon wished to be brighter and more powerful than the Sun. The Master of the Universe taught dear Moon how her value was equal to the Sun and how her special beauty and power is exactly as intended. This valuable teaching helps children learn to discover their own inherent value - just as they were designed by their Creator . An early lesson on dealing with envy and jealousy.
Author, Ruth Wiseman, uses this story to encourage young readers the importance of self-acceptance and the value of their own particular talent - their light for the World.

Review
The story is well told. Simple, yet elegant use of words to convey an important lesson about realizing - and then resting in - one's own value and self-worth. Each of us has a different way of contributing to the world, based on our own gifts. Different - not better.
The illustrations are masterful and will draw the reader in. They drew me in. An explosion of color and detail that made me explore each page over and over before moving on.
I thought the story length was perfect. Text and illustrations very congruent with one another.
