The Moon Ring: Amazon.co.uk: Randy DuBurke: Books

Product Description

Product Description
The magical story of a young female character, with spectacular illustrations, by a debut African-American author. Fifth colour metallic ink throughout for moon and moon ring. In the light of a blue moon (the rare occurrence of a second full moon in a month), Maxine discovers something extraordinary in the grass - a moon ring, magically transports her first to the Antarctic, then to the plains of Africa, and finally to the heart of New York City, before returning her to her very own bedroom. Was it all just a dream? Or was the magic of the moon ring real? Features an African American heroine without an "agenda" or a discrimination problem to overcome - she's just a kid on an adventure who happens to be black.

About the Author
Randy DuBurke grew up in New York, where he lives today. He has been drawing ever since he can remember, and at the age of six announced to his mother that he was going to be an artist. As a kid, he loved storytelling, movies and comics - the comics, it seemed to him, were simply films on paper - and his first illustrations were of Batman and Star Trek. Later he was influenced by N. C. Wyeth and Howard Pyle, still later by Maurice Sendak. Randy's illustrations have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, Mad Magazine, D.C. and Marvel comics, and science fiction magazines such as Galaxy Publication's Forbidden Zone. This is his first book.
