Reception.
"Publishers Weekly" in a review of "Half a Moon and One Whole Star", wrote " Half A Moon and One Whole Star is an exceptional children's book: a work of art, both literary and visual." and "School Library Journal" called it "a soft symphony of sleep in which participants are both real and imagined."
"Kirkus Reviews" wrote "The cadence and the sensual images of the text, coupled with the artist's direct, yet subtly disjointed pictures in vivid watery colors, combine for a harmonious nighttime symphony of sound and color."
