Noni is scared walking home with Grandaddy at night in the city. But Grandaddy knows just how to help. He tells her the story of another night, down home in Alabama, when he himself got the frights. It was the very some night that Grandaddy first met Grandma Ismay. And it was the night of the tambourine moon.... Joy Jones celebrates the magic of love, family, and stories in a poetic text. And Terry Widener's rich, lyrical Illustrations are as warm as Grandaddy's mellow, comforting voice. Tambouring Moon will make readers feel snug and peaceful -- just like Noni does after hearing Grandaddy's story.
