"That is when Holly really noticed his eyes for the very first time. How two eyes could hold so much of a story, she would never understand. It was as if in Joshua's brown eyes, there had been a window into his very world. Except this world seemed far too sad to enter... This world didn't contain sunshine and spring flowers. It didn't contain warm chocolate chip cookies and cool swims in the summer. It seemed... if she stayed lost in his eyes for too long that they may tell a story that she wasn't yet prepared to know."

Daddy, Can You Bring Me the Moon? is Justin Vaughn's debut picture book. It features the lovely illustrations of Breanna Matthews. Justin is a husband, father, and an early childhood educator. He published his first book, Room at the Table, in 2020. Breanna is traditionally trained in oil painting, and she has worked in many other mediums such as paper cutting, graphic design, watercolor, and digital illustrations. From the author: "One of my favorite aspects of being an author is the ability to capture a feeling in a story and to make it relatable to others. In my new picture book, I sought to capture the loving relationship between a father and his daughter. The innocent wonder of the daughter and the unconditional love of the father, during their interactions on an evening stroll on the beach, will surely connect to many who read this book. I hope it will become a great bedtime story for fathers and daughters to share together for years to come."
