About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to navigate the nuances of friendship, gift-giving, or the confusing feelings that arise when something they love is lost. It is a gentle tool for teaching perspective-taking and the selfless joy of making someone else happy, even when that someone seems far away. The story follows Bear, who decides the Moon should have a birthday gift. Through a charming series of echoes that Bear mistakes for a conversation, he discovers the Moon wants a hat. This whimsical misunderstanding leads to a beautiful act of generosity. For parents, it is a perfect bedtime read that mirrors a child's own logic and magical thinking, making it ideal for ages 2 to 6. It provides a comforting space to discuss how we show love and how to handle the inevitable loss of material things with grace.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and metaphorical. It touches on the loss of a physical object (the hat blowing away), but the resolution is hopeful and focuses on the internal state of friendship rather than the external possession.
