Whose Moon Is That? (Krans Kim)(Pevná vazba) Whose Moon Is That? (Krans Kim)(Pevná vazba)

The wolf, the owl, and the starry sky all have their reasons, but the moon ultimately answers for herself -- her light is meant to be shared by everyone. Kim Krans\'s stunning ink-and-watercolor illustrations
