What Parents Should Know

None. The story is secular and uses the moon as a gentle metaphor for a child's developing identity. The resolution is consistently hopeful and affirming of the child's imagination.
Ideal Reader
A curious 4-year-old who is developing a strong sense of 'mine' and starting to personify the world. Also excellent for a sensitive child who forms deep attachments to nature and would be comforted by seeing this trait celebrated.
