This beautiful adaptation of the beloved The Boy and The Moon-winner of multiple international independent film awards-tells the story of a boy who swims the deepest seas and slays the mightiest dragons to win the Moon's love.
"Night-black spreads lit with warm, copper-tinged light show the boy diving into the sea for an exquisite pearl, then slaying a dragon for its diamond eye . . . It’s clear that Alaimo is a polished craftsman in both mediums."
—Publishers Weekly
