One night, the moon fell asleep . . . and crashed to the moon.

Everyone came running and tried to wake her up, but she went on sleeping. Worried, the people called the doctor. He said the moon was very tired and needed a good night’s sleep, so the people tiptoed home, and let her sleep.

When the moon woke up the next morning, the people asked why she was blue. She said the sky was lonely, dark, and cold; then she insisted that she would never go back into the sky because no one appreciated her and she felt sad about it.

Can the cowboy, the astronaut, the great composer, the children, and the scruffiest dog change the moon’s mind?

This sweet picture book, for young readers ages four through eight, shows how friendship and caring for others can make a significant difference. Young readers, seeing how kindness makes a difference, will be able to relate that idea to their own lives and their relationships with their peers.

Colorful illustrations accompany the simple text of this delightful bedtime story that’s a perfect story for adults and children to share.
