Description
"Perfectly captures the curiosity and delight of a child's mind. Adults could learn a thing or two."--Aaron Becker, author-illustrator of Caldecott Honor-winning picture book Journey

What would happen if the moon moved in next door? A funny and original story about an unexpected friendship, the essential role of the moon, and our power to connect, even from far away.

When the Moon moves into the long-empty house next door, all the rooms fill up with light--and Stella finally has a friend. But without the Moon in orbit, the world is going topsy-turvy. The tides stop, and the Earth has a new wobble. Stella worries, but the Moon just wants to stay and garden. Can Stella convince the Moon that life on Earth needs the Moon back in orbit? And what will become of her wish for a friend next door?

EDUCATIONAL AND HEARTWARMING: This deeply felt story of an unusual friendship also celebrates the Moon's role in the natural workings of the world. Fun facts about the moon's impact on our planet's environment, animals, and humans are included at the front and back of the book!

PRIORITIZING THE PLANET: Stella realizes that even though she loves having her friend close, the consequences are too significant. She learns to prioritize her planet over herself, supporting Moon in returning to his place in the sky and resuming his role. But she also learns that Moon is never far away!

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE WORLD: This clever moon book for kids features a scientifically minded female protagonist who loves the Earth's smallest creatures, is concerned for everyone's well-being, and is interested in space.

BEAUTIFUL, INSPIRING GIFT: Perfect for future scientists, aspiring astronomers, moon lovers, bug lovers, and budding gardeners--as well as anyone looking for a new friend.

Perfect for:
  • Anyone who loves the moon
  • Kids who enjoy science facts and learning about the environment
  • Parents and educators looking for picture books with astronomical or STEM themes
  • Readers interested in stories with strong themes of friendship and social-emotional learning
