You Hung the Moon is a hardcover book, written by Jessica Urlichs and illustrated by Sarah Reinhardt, both from New Zealand.

"When you hold me and sway like you do,
I know it was you who hung the moon."

If you've ever been late-night feed-scrolling through instagram in the depths of the newborn bubble, or staying awake at night because you know you're toddlers going to wake you anyway, you may have come across Jess Urlich on instagram. She is one of those writers who writes from the soul, like it's your own soul and thoughts and feelings pulled straight out of yourself, but said in a way you never could. 

This heartwarming book of verse puts into words the intangible madness and love that is motherhood. It's a celebration of the intimate bond between mother and child. The most gorgeous present for your mum or a new mum (or for yourself) to sit pride of place on the book shelf.

Recommended age: from birth.
