Here's another analogy that may either help or hinder.
Put a 20c piece down on the table. Run the fingernail of your index finger (your fingernail represents the side of the Moon facing the Earth) around the edge of the coin. You will see that your finger needs to turn 360 degrees to go completely around the coin= one rotation of the moon.
