Master Stitchum and the Moon *OP

by Mickle Maher, Spiro Dousias (Illustrator)

THE FIRST THING you have to understand about the story of Master Stitchum and the Moon is that it happened very, very long ago. Millions and millions of years ago. When the world was very young. So young that the mountains only came up to a person's chin and snowflakes came in just twenty three shapes...
MASTER STITCHUM is a tailor who does no tailoring but instead spends his time telling everybody else what to do. He tells butterflies how to flit better and he tells knights how to slay dragons more effectively. Follow Stitchum, his sister Helga (the town spitter) and his brother Pitchum (the town slop shoveler) as they embark on an unforgettable journey to furnish their town with the previously undiscovered novelty of MOONLIGHT. In doing so, Stitchum will cross treacherous mountains, swim through shark filled oceans, sing lullabies to giants and ultimately come face to face with his own weakness.
Included within this wonderfully illustrated, full-colored, masterpiece is a CD containing 3 songs that complement Master Stitchum and the Moon. These unforgettable songs were written, composed and performed by world-renown singer/songwriter, Michael Smith.
