Cherry Moon cover

Winner of the CLIPPA Poetry Prize 2020

This wondrous poetry collection captures eye-popping moments, tender observations and a thousand whimsical reflections on the sheer joy of the natural world. Thought-provoking, sensitive and delightfully original, Cherry Moon, poses big questions about life with poems and other small gatherings of words; encouraging children of every age to explore the power, enchantment and sheer wonderfulness of nature.

"Weil's lines land with the elegant profundity of a child's earnest question: "Why does the sun shine?" Her poems shimmer and shake, will elicit joy and whimsy. Cherry Moon is a book to be read out of doors, surrounded with your loved ones, whether human, animal, or plant." 

-- Daegen Miller, author, This Radical Land

"Cherry Moon feels like exactly what we need right now. A magical journey, grounded in natural beauty and a sense of communal wonder and hope."

-- Steven Camden, poet and CLIPPA poetry prize judge

"We found this a wonderfully evocative collection of poems a joyous celebration of nature and language. The playful exuberance of the text and complementary illustrations have immense child-appeal, but there is also an underlying thoughtfulness about the environment which parents and teachers sharing the book with younger children will appreciate. This is a book to be read and reread."

-- Valerie Bloom, poet and CLIPPA poetry prize j
