A beautifully romantic ode to the full moon, and a journey through vibrant imagination. Purr the Cat brings home a large, golden pomelo from the market. It smells fresh and crisp, and makes a light “tap-tap-tap” sound when gently knocked. Eagerly, Purr starts to peel the fruit—but then, something strange happens…
“‘The Taste of the Moon’ is a picture book imbued with the distinctive charm of printmaking. With simple language and expressive shapes, it unfolds an unexpected tale full of childlike wonder. This delightful visual game captures the magic in everyday life, creating a reading experience that is both soothing and sparking with romantic fancy.”—Zhu Chengliang
