Reviews:

“Marghanita Hughes has given us a small treasure trove of wisdom, magic and practicality within the colourful pages of “Orange Moon ~ Grandmother Tree”. Whether a child, parent, or simply forever young-at-heart, you cannot help but be captivated by the delightful “Orange Moon” as she steps barefoot into another day of adventure in nature. Within the words and behind Marghanita’s glorious drawings and photographs, there lies tender heart-filled messages for the children whose hands will be holding this book. As well, there is also a delicious array of nature activities that not only teach, but will absolutely inspire all those who try them ~ young and old. Marghanita’s passion to bring the magic of nature and children together has more then succeeded with this charming and motivating little book.” -Wendalynn Jones

Rich hues of orange-red with a hint of umber contrast with brilliant wildflowers of summer, to set the stage for a vibrant story that warmed my heart and imagination!
Gently Orange Moon models how to open our hearts warmly with love to discover more about nature, our relationships and our selves.

I noticed myself pausing to gaze at the beautiful pictures. As I reflected, they reminded me of my own childhood innocence spent in natural spaces relaxing and playing during timeless days.

I realized the power of these beautiful pictures can invite a young child also to pause and gaze at the nature surrounding Orange Moon. The pictures can invite the readers to talk and warmly open our own hearts to share just like Orange Moon.

This story eloquently expresses the healing potential of seeking out nature and noticing how infinitely connected we all are to each other and everything on our world.

This book is a treasure, a keeper, and one that will enrich a very young child as a picture book and last right through the school age years!

The story can enrich our adult lives too, as Orange Moon encourages all of us to open our hearts, to notice the beauty and healing potential within nature! There is a lifetime of wisdom to discover within this story, to grow with your child and within us adults too.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Within the pages of the newest book by Marghanita Hughes, “Orange Moon and The Grandmother Tree,” you will find a wonderful and touching story, accompanied by gorgeous illustrations and artistry. The words in the book almost dance off the page, creating beautiful images in the minds of the reader. The book also comes with an important lesson from a child to an adult, as Ellouise warms the heart of a stranger she meets.  As a Kindergarten teacher I am constantly reminded by my students that they have many amazing lessons to teach me, and this book demonstrates that point.  Our youngest members of society are often the most overlooked, however they are the ones with the greatest lessons of all. This book stirred up childhood memories of my own, of how I, like Orange Moon, loved nothing more than to be free in the outdoors without a care in the world. This story would be perfect for any parent, educator, or nature lover and is complete with wonderful ideas to help incorporate a love and passion for nature into your world through art, craft, and nature ideas. As a teacher who fills her students’ days with opportunities to explore and love nature and the outdoors, I would love to share the journey and magic of Orange Moon with my students. Thank you for another great book and for continuing to share your love for nature and the outdoors with children and adults around the world!  -Lindsay Seto, Kindergarten Teacher, Aspenwood Elementary

LOVE CONQUERS ALL

love conquers all printsm

I cannot express the excitement I feel inside when I think of all the beautiful people in the world sharing their love and compassion. Love makes the world a beautiful place. Orange Moon has been and continues to be a powerful and joy-filled journey in the making. My hope is that Orange Moon will warm your heart and inspire you to head outdoors and dance amongst the flowers.

Teaching our children about compassion is one of the most important things we can do for them and the future of humanity - Dalai Lama

  1. Thank you Hillary, I am deeply touched by your words. It makes my heart sing to know Orange Moon helped your daughters in this way, thank you for sharing……………………….
    I have read “Orange Moon and the Grandmother Tree” to my daughters, ages 3 and 5, several times now. It is a beautiful and wonderful story. My mother-in-law passed away this past spring and I find that the story helps my daughters to understand that even though Grammy is no longer here, physically, her presence is all around them because of the love they have for her. This story is a blessing and the illustrations and pictures are a true delight!

    Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to share this book with my family.

  2. Orange Moon is a simply enchanting story about a girl named Orange Moon.
    Orange Moon takes us with her as she goes on a day’s adventure in nature.
    We feel her joy in a meadow of coneflowers, in the summertime when
    butterflies abound. We share her love of a very old and special tree in
    the forest. In creating Orange Moon, Author Marghanita Hughes, has allowed
    us to recapture the innocent childhood joys of newly discovered nature.
    This is a book for mother and daughter to share. Orange Moon is made
    extra special with hands-on craft projects, an inspiration to get out in
    the garden and play.
