'tis the season to read about trees! 🌳

Hannah (@the_new_forest_nest) writes, "Inspired by our new book, Edward wanted to do a little tree study with all our nature treasures which we’ve collected over the past few weeks. The book follows a tree’s life cycle from tiny seed to something more mighty! The transparent pages are a really fun concept and allow you to see each transition beautifully. Edward loved matching his treasures to what was happening on each page 🍁

It’s a wonderful book for little minds and really captured Edward’s imagination. So much so that we’ve been watching The Secret Life of Trees ever since! Now for some more nature walks to collect more treasures… the gorgeous realistic artwork in the book will help us identify what we’ve found!"

We are Moonlight Publishing

About us

We are a small, independent, family-run company, founded in 1980, to create illustrated information books for young children, aged 5 to 9. The success of our books lies in their ability to captivate children’s imagination and hold their attention through the quality of the artwork and design, and the clarity of the text.

We are passionate about learning. Our books and apps nurture children’s innate curiosity about the world around them and explain how things work and how plants, animals and people interact with their environment in everyday life. Importantly, our books encourage children to discover the world from their own unique perspective.
