The story of a boy, a dragon, an old castle, a fearful village, and a few small friends, "Patient as the Moonlight" is a fairy tale about how we sometimes need the love of others to peel back the scales and reveal the beauty in our hearts. From David S. Dockery, President of Union University, "PATIENT AS THE MOONLIGHT will provide readers with a sense of joy and hope as they contemplate this beautifully written and illustrated story. Through a delightful account of the Lad and the Princess, Ellen Kay invites her readers to reflect on life's opportunities and struggles, which are so often encountered along the way. Kay is to be commended for her imaginative and creative expression, as well as for the effective manner in which this lovely fairy tale is presented."
