Voice of the Moon

by Funke Annah Michael · illustrated by Heather Quass

In a quiet village nestled between ancient mountains, a girl named Akira carries a secret gift—she can hear the voice of the moon. Each night, the moon whispers stories of kindness, courage, and love. But when a shadow swallows the moon and fear grips her people, Akira must listen closer than ever before. Drawing strength from the moon's soft voice, she reminds her village that even in darkness, light still shines. Inspired by West African folklore, Voice of the Moon is a gentle, lyrical picture book about hope, resilience, and the magic of truly listening. Perfect for bedtime reading and for every child who has ever looked up at the night sky and wondered.
