How are we able to see the moon if it doesn't make its own light?
We can only see the parts of the moon that are directly in sunlight - this is why we see only part of the moon during its phases as it passes in and out of the direct light of the sun.
Why do the moon's phases look like they do?
The moon's phases look the way they do because it takes one monthe for the moon to rotate around the Earth. You can only see certain parts of the moon because the light of the sun shines only on the part of the moon not covered by the Earth.

Can people only see the part of the moon where the sun is shining on it?
This is essentially correct. When part of the moon is in darkness, we can't see it.

We only see the portion of the moon that is both illuminated by the sun and facing the earth.

You can see the moon when it is not full. The sun lights up part of the moon, but if you look carefully when the moon is not full, you can see the darker parts.

What needs to happen for a new moon to occur?
The moon does not actually change shape - when we only see part of the moon, that's because that's the only part the sun illuminates from our point on Earth. When we see a new moon, however, that means the sun is illuminating nothing on the moon that we can see.
