Moon Pops
Moon Pops | Heena Baek
4 posts | 2 read
A witty, weird, and wonderful spin on a classic Korean folktale, the first book to be published in English by internationally acclaimed Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award winner Heena Baek One sweltering summer night, while the many residents of one apartment building are struggling to fall asleep, the moon begins to melt. Granny hears it dripping and runs out to catch the moon drops in a bucket. At first unsure what do with the drops, she is soon inspired to turn them into popsicles--moon pops!--to help cool down her neighbors. But as everyone drifts off to sleep, a new problem arises. The fabled rabbits who, according to folklore live on the moon, have lost their home! With the last of the moon drops, Granny grows a new moon from the potted plant in her window. As the moon ascends to the starry sky above, the rabbits return to their home, and Granny returns to her bed. Illustrated in otherworldly mixed-media 3D shoebox dioramas that use unique and exquisite collage art, this quirky and colorful picture book spins a new story from the common East Asian fable of the rabbit in the moon.

Moon Pops by Heena Baek is a childrens literature fantasy fiction book. It was published in 2021 and is a Boston Globe Horn Book Award winner. It is about a bunch of residents in an apartment and it is so hot the moon melts. Grandma collects the drops into a bucket and freezes them into moon pops. Everyones power went out from all the AC units and fans and needed light. She gave out the moon pops and everyone. Later someone else shows up...

Korean artist Heena Baek received the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to children‘s literature. In the first of her picture book to be translated into English (by Jieun Kiaer), she tells a whimsical story about a night so hot that the moon melts. It‘s illustrated with diorama artwork you could study for hours. Outstanding #kidlit

The diorama that Heena Baek created to illustrate this picture book is not only remarkable but it‘s big! Nearly as tall as she is! (Detail above)
