Story by Chan Poling, Illustrations by Lucy Michell 

Minnesota Historical Society Press (August 2024)

This tender tale about the power of song reminds us to treasure magical friendships that come along once in a blue moon.

Written by musician Chan Poling (The Suburbs, the New Standards) and illustrated by songwriter and performer Lucy Michel (Little Fevers), this gorgeous picture book celebrates the nonconformist in everyone. Equally comfortable on a collector’s coffee table as on a child’s well worn bookshelf, Moons will delight old and young readers alike. 

When Lucy and her mom move from the city to a new home in the country, life is very different. In the city, Lucy had lots of friends; in the country, she is alone–until one day, when a song leads her to an unexpected friendship.  

One evening, Lucy couldn’t sleep with all the quiet, so she sang a song to the night sky.

“Once in a blue moon, you meet a friend . . . ,” she sang.

It was a very pretty song. Lucy sang it soft but clear. The song floated up, up, up . . .

Up to the night sky.

Up to where the Moons lived. 

Lucy understands that the expression “once in a blue moon” means something rare and precious. And for Lucy, a friend is rare and precious. But she is in luck, because one of the Moons is Blue Moon—and Blue is also looking for a friend.

Enjoy this latest volume from the team who brought us Jack and the Ghost.

One of the best dog toys we've found
This is one of my little girl's favorite toys. She's an aggressive chewer so at first we followed the manufacturers instructions not to let her use as a chew toy. It was purchased in January 2025, but it's holding up just fine. She likes to turn it into a pretzel for some reason, but hey it keeps her entertained! Highly recommend.

Good for play but don’t leave out to be chewed on
With two labs we need durable toys. This can stand up to the teeth when pulling but we can’t leave it laying around or it has chunks chewed out of it. And it’s not the toys fault that my girls can’t figure out how to each take a side, so it’s a human vs dog pull toy.

Toy is strong enough for a Rottweiler.
This is one of my dog’s favorite toys. He is a Rottweiler so I have to get him strong, sturdy toys. He hasn’t broken it yet!

Will buy again
Perfect tug toy. My big guy is an aggressive chewer with some strong jaws. I'm extremely impressed that its lasted as long as it has. He loves to play with it, tug on it, chew on it. Exactly what I had hoped for.

Buy it you won’t regret it
This is the best toy ever! My Rottie loves it and can entertain herself for quite a while. The unpredictability of its bounce when tossed keeps her guessing and moving getting lots of energy out. Great for tug as well, or roll it on flat surfaces, it’ll go forever! She love the squeaky too
