(PRLeap.com) "The Day the Moon Came Out Too Soon", a new book by Bruce McLean, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

For centuries, cultures across Asia have imagined a rabbit in the moon's darkened patches, a belief that has enchanted generations. A new children's story brings that sense of wonder to life with a fresh twist: exploring the moments when the sun and moon share the daytime sky.

Set against the natural beauty of Maine, the book follows the moon as he accidentally rises too early and embarks on a heartfelt quest to set things right. Along the way, readers will meet a variety of forest and sea creatures native to the state, each rendered through vibrant, original artwork created by Makenna Johnson, a junior at Stearns Junior-Senior High School in Millinocket, Maine.
