Reception
Publishers Weekly in a review of Half a Moon and One Whole Star, wrote " Half A Moon and One Whole Star is an exceptional children's book: a work of art, both literary and visual."[1] and School Library Journal called it "a soft symphony of sleep in which participants are both real and imagined."[2]
Kirkus Reviews wrote "The cadence and the sensual images of the text, coupled with the artist's direct, yet subtly disjointed pictures in vivid watery colors, combine for a harmonious nighttime symphony of sound and color."[3]
Half a Moon received the 1987 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award.[4]
