“A fabulous recapturing of an old, real fairy-tale world. Dark. Mysterious. Stunning!”—Maurice Sendak,

Caldecott-winning creator of Where the Wild Things Are

Everyone’s raving about WILLIAM JOYCE’s The Man in the Moon!

“ William Joyce, to put it simply, is a genius, and we are lucky to have another book from him. The Man in the Moon is filled with tenderness, love, and enchantment. It’s an unforgettable story which will, I predict, take its rightful place in the hearts of children everywhere.” —Brian Selznick, author/illustrator of the Caldecott-winning The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Coming October 2011: Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King By William Joyce and Laura Geringer. The first chapter book in The Guardians series!

ISBN: 9781442430488

A true luminary and creative spirit, William Joyce has written and illustrated over a dozen picture books including Santa Calls, George Shrinks, and Dinosaur Bob. He’s won three Emmy awards for his Rolie Polie Olie animated series; developed character concepts for Toy Story and A Bug’s Life; and his films include Robots and Meet the Robinsons. He’s currently co-directing DreamWorks Animation release Rise of the Guardians (Fall 2012). He is also producing a movie based on his picture book The Leaf Men. He lives in Shreveport, LA, and is the founder of Moonbot Studios.
