About the Author

Christine Taylor-Butler is the author of one hundred books for children and a graduate of MIT. She grew up looking at the moon every night, and the full moon was her favorite because of the bright light reflected in the dark sky. But crescent moons reminded her of smiles. So it was exciting when NASA astronauts completed the first lunar landing and brought back rocks that she could see at the Smithsonian Space Museum. She hopes you love the moon as much as she does.

Héctor Borlasca started his career as a graphic designer and then became an illustrator with a unique style. His bright, colorful books for kids include ¡Buenos días, Anita!, Big Kid Shoes, and Yiddish Saves the Day. He lives in Argentina with his wife and daughter. When not illustrating, Héctor enjoys playing soccer and perfecting his tango.
