Synopsis:

The Moon Is Always Round is a tender, beautifully illustrated book that helps children understand that God’s goodness remains true even in the hardest moments of life.

Drawing on the vivid image of the moon and its changing phases, Jonathan Gibson offers young readers a simple but powerful way to think about suffering and trust. Through the real-life conversations he shared with his son after the death of his daughter, he shows how children can begin to grasp that even when God’s goodness feels hidden by sadness or confusion, it has not disappeared.

This full-color book gives families a gentle, gospel-centered resource for talking about grief, loss, and the character of God with honesty and hope. A helpful section in the back also equips parents and caregivers with further biblical guidance, making The Moon Is Always Round a strong choice for families walking through sorrow or preparing to talk about suffering with children.

Everyone knew by his crooked hay rows that he would choose art over farming. Joe taught art for twelve years before becoming a full-time illustrator.
