In Edmond, The Moonlit Party, Edmond the squirrel is shy and a bit
lonely, but he nevertheless believes that his life is just as it should
be. He's happy making his colorful pompoms, stirring his nut jam, and
going to sleep early. But one evening, when there's once again a party
in his apartment house tree, the fragrance of his jam brings an
unexpected visitor to his door. With the entrance of Owl, an aficionado
of disguises and fun, into his life, everything begins to change for
Edmond. Not only does he agree to attend Owl's party. He goes and has
the best evening ever, and the world seems deeper and more wonderful
than ever before, and just right, too!
Awash with rich color and the funniest, liveliest details ever, Edmond,
The Moonlit Party is thoughtful and thought provoking as well as just
plain fun! Each page deepens the story while providing a rich serving of
visual pleasure!

author. She received her degree in philosophy and has written several
books on religion and philosophy for adults, but she also writes rich

clever and absolutely charming riff on Rousseau for young readers.
Marc Boutavantis an award-winning author and illustrator. For years,
Boutavant has drawn for picture books and comics, and he's done his fair
share of editorial illustration as well. His cartoons and picture books
have made him a widely sought after illustrator. Boutavant's lively,
expressive, and inventive illustrations appeal to both children and
their parents, for they are simple and complex, witty, playful, and
probing all at the same time. Ghosts, another Boutavant treat, is also
published by Enchanted Lion Books.
