The Moth Keeper is a story about community, curiosity, responsibility, and loneliness. The parallels between the ghost of legend, losing her ability to enjoy life to her obsession with the moon and Anya's daydreaming about living under the sun are such poignant parallels, especially after Anya's daydreaming about life under the sun while spending her nights alone. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the characters are easy to love!
