What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular, focusing entirely on natural science and the emotional comfort of the natural world.
Ideal Reader
A 4-year-old who is beginning to ask "why" about the world around them, or a child who feels a little bit nervous about the dark and would benefit from seeing the night sky as a friendly, predictable place.
Parent Prep
This is a "read cold" book. The text is straightforward and designed for a relaxing experience. Parents can prepare by being ready to look out the window together after the final page. A parent might reach for this after a child points out the moon through a car window or asks why the moon followed them home.
