How the Moon Regained Her Shapeby Janet Ruth Heller
Influenced by Native American folktales, this fascinating story deals with bullying, self-confidence, and understanding the phases of the moon. After the sun insults and bullies her, the moon gets very upset and disappears - much to the chagrin of rabbits who miss their moonlight romps. With the help of her friends, the moon gains more self-confidence each day until she is back to her full size. The "Creative Minds" section explains the phases of the moon and helps to answer those pesky questions like "why is the moon up during the day?", or "why does the shape of the moon change? Moon crafts and games supplement the understanding.

Dear Karla,
Thank you so much for reviewing my book for kids about bullying, _How the Moon Regained Her Shape_. I really appreciate your time and effort. The book has won 4 national awards, including a Children's Choices for 2007 and a Gold Medal in the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards for 2007.
I was bullied when I was a child, so I am very concerned about helping kids, families, schools, and other organizations with this problem.
Best wishes for the holiday season!
Sincerely,
Janet Heller, author
