Every year in June, we get a full moon with a super tasty name – the Strawberry Moon! But before you grab a spoon and run outside, here’s the truth: it doesn’t look like a strawberry, and it’s not a fruit-flavoured moon pie. Sorry!
So why the name? A long time ago, Native American tribes noticed that this full moon appeared during strawberry picking season, and they gave it the perfect name. Cool, right?
Even though the moon looks like its regular silvery self, the name reminds us that nature has seasons, and summer means sweet fruit, sunny days, and a sky full of fun.
So go ahead, look up at the moon this June, smile, and say: “Nice name, but you fooled me!”
And if you really want strawberries… check the fridge ☺ .
