Lullabies from the Girl on the Moon

Lullabies from the Girl on the Moon is an audio CD that focuses on reconstructing children's storytelling into tales for adults by exploring deeper themes of loss, death, and change with childlike motifs like fireflies carrying wishes and mythical creatures weaving dreams. Read by Alyssa's mother and enhanced with whimsical music and fantastical illustrations, as an ode to her mother, it will evoke one of the most treasured parts of childhood, a mother reading to her child before bed.
