Under the Moonlight by Susannah Crispe (author-illustrator), Hachette Australia (due 27 April 2022).
Meet Moose, an enormous, brave and solitary moose, with
nothing to fear. Unfortunately for Moose, his tranquil sleep is about to be
shattered by a fright in the night. Follow Moose as he shows great bravery in
facing his fears and investigating the source of the night-time fright.
Under the Moonlight started from a simple rhyme
I made up while chatting to my husband after a trip to Scandinavia. It started
with 'under the moonlight, a moose got a fright' and after rewriting it several
times over several years and whispering different versions of it to my sleeping
baby, I finally had a story.
During my writing process, I started painting a few
character sketches and shared them on Instagram. I noticed a publisher from
Hachette had 'liked' them, so once my manuscript was polished, I sent her a message
and she invited me to submit it directly to her.
