The Man Who Hung The Moon 

About this book

This picture book (ages 0–8) is an adventure that softly explores the loss of a loved one.

As the pages turn, the man who hung the moon grows older—his hair greying as he protects his world below. When all wishes are complete, he goes to rest on the moon.

And then, quietly and beautifully, the balloon is passed to the child… to hang for their own children one day.

This story matters because it gives children a way to understand love, legacy, and letting go—without fear, without heaviness, and without needing everything explained.

If you’re looking for a gentle picture book to share with your child, this one is available to purchase now.

I wrote this story after learning my fathers cancer treatment had come to and end and there was nothing more doctors could do.
I wanted to capture who my Dad has always been to us: a hero.

Someone who made the impossible feel possible. Someone who, in a child's mind, could hang the moon.
