AUTHOR Shirley Moulton has been close, personal friends with Magic Moon for her entire life. He asked her to write some of his stories, so, naturally, she did. Shirley Moulton has spent her entire professional career of over 35 years working with children who have disabilities (including but not limited to: autism, ADHD, behavior disorders, learning disabilities and other health impairments). She’s also worked with non-disabled and gifted children. Shirley Moulton has a Master of Science degree in Special Education, and two Bachelor’s degrees; one in Psychology and one in Special Education. She believes every child, whether classified with a disability or not, has many talents and gifts. She’s grateful she can continue to make a positive difference in children’s lives, now that she’s retired, by writing the Magic Moon Children’s Books series. She loves being a mother and a grandmother most of all!

Shirley Moulton's first book, "Magic Moon: A Young Boy's Journey" is actually a story she told to her grandchildren one night. She was using a large flashlight, shining it on the ceiling. Two rings glowed around the central light, so she made this "Magic Moon." She developed the story with "Magic Moon" having the power to grant two requests.

​

She has now written and published five Magic Moon books: Magic Moon: A Young Boy's Journey (Vol. 1), Magic Moon: Sister's Turn (Vol. 2), Magic Moon: Two Worlds (Vol. 3), Magic Moon: A New Beginning (Vol. 4) and Magic Moon: Bears Ears (Vol. 5).

Magic Moon: A Young Boy's Journey (Vol. 1), and Magic Moon: Sister's Turn (Vol. 2) are now audiobooks on sale as well!

ILLUSTRATOR Marilyn Whitchurch earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Education. ​She loves all things magical and has been creating drawings from her imagination and observations ever since she can remember. Her dream is to one day see a unicorn in the real world and convince it to pose for a drawing (after she rides it, of course). Another dream she had was to illustrate a children’s book, which is now fulfilled. She has now illustrated two children's books (picture books with full page illustrations) and illustrated covers for four Magic Moon Children's Books. She resides in Utah and is married to her college sweetheart. They have three adult children who have their own kind of magic.

COVER DESIGNER Cody Moulton (for Magic Moon Vol. 4 and design elements on Vol. 3 and Vol. 5) has been creative in art and music his entire life! He has a B.S. in Web Development & Design and has also designed the website for Magic Moon Children's Books (Magic Moon Books, LLC). http://design.moultonhot.com/portfolio/

SOUND ENGINEER Derek Moulton has been involved with audio recording, mixing, mastering and engineering for 10 years. He has his own recording studio where his passion is writing music. He has fully produced multiple music albums and worked with several musicians. He takes great pride in his work and is always working towards improving his craft. (Derek is not accepting new clients at this time.)

NARRATOR Shilo Dennis loves to sing and act. From ages 7 - 14 she performed in many solo vocal concerts, plays, commercials, television shows and a movie. Most significantly she played the lead role of “Mary” in “The Secret Garden." She also played the speaking and singing role of “Helen” in the “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear” episode of Touched By An Angel, and she co-starred in the movie “Mr. Atlas.” She continues this hobby by goofing off with and reading aloud to her family.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantasy story with a lesson on bullying
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2019
*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review*

Creative way to talk about bullying. Dialogue is a bit choppy (lots of conversations and they all include highly repetitive instances of “he said”; it gets annoying when reading aloud).

When I found out the topic of this book was bullying, I was concerned about reading it to my child (4 years old) because I thought they may have been really mean, and at one point, I thought they were going to discuss body image issues, and that’s not something I’d like to introduce to my child (I can see her thinking, “why is she concerned about her weight? Maybe I should be concerned about mine”), but it was more about exclusionary practices and how you can’t judge a book by its cover, and that being mean to people hurts their hearts. I think it was well done in a way that teaches young children not to bully without teaching them ways to bully.

The little girl who was being bullied never said anything to anybody, however, so I would have liked a lesson about the importance of telling an adult, but with a slightly older child, you could always incorporate a conversation about “what would have happened if they hadn’t spied and figured out she was being bullied” and lead a child to realize that she could have told the camp counselors (and she could’ve started having fun before the second to last day of camp had she said something early).

I just remembered that in the fantasy world, there’s a boy being bullied because he looks different, and that portion does discuss asking for help, but he never got help because even the adults bullied him, so he just hid in the woods all day, every day. I wasn’t very happy with that lesson, but I think the author’s point was the importance of helping people when you have the chance and not being the bully, rather than what to do when you’re the one being bullied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yay for New Beginning(s)!
Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2019
This is one of my favorites of the Magic Moon series due to its tackling of a very serious subject, bullying. Too many children commit suicide due to being bullied, and too many bullies think their behavior is okay. If this book helps even one child, I'm glad.

3.0 out of 5 stars Valuable moral in it!
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019
I voluntarily read this book after receiving a free copy. This book tells two stories at once but both stories have a great moral that teaches against bullying. Being a teacher, I have seen bullying all too many times. I love books that contain moral teaching. It was a little confusing to jump back and forth between the two stories but the end helped the it together. It did not have big words that young children chapter books often contain. After reading this book, I will be sure to read it to my children to make sure they catch the moral.

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2019
I really liked this book. It is about the struggles with bullying. I think there is a really good moral to this story, one that all kids need to be taught. I would highly recommend this series for anyone trying to instill good moral values in their children. I received a free copy in return for my honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting how lessons are taught here
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2019
This book was simple, but with some very good lessons. I like how the girls worked together to help and learn from each other, and in the other world too. I wish I knew the other stories about Moon that were before this one, but I do like what I read. And the lesson with the boxes is a good one that we can even use today. My only issue was that I was lost a bit at first until I read a few chapters. “I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.”
