Reach for this book when your child is winding down for bed and expresses a sense of wonder about the natural world or the mysteries of the night. It is a perfect choice for children who may feel a bit hesitant about the dark, as it transforms the nighttime woods into a place of rhythmic beauty and companionship rather than fear. The story follows a young girl who discovers a secret, dancing tiger that only appears when the moon is full. Through poetic, rhythmic text, the pair dances together through the changing seasons: from the crunch of autumn leaves to the stillness of winter snow. It is a gentle exploration of the passage of time and the cyclical nature of the environment, making it an excellent tool for teaching seasonal changes in a way that feels like a shared secret. Parents will appreciate the sophisticated vocabulary and the way the book encourages a quiet, mindful appreciation for nature's rhythms.
