About This Book
Reach for this book when your child expresses anxiety about the dark or feels restless during a long evening car ride. It is the perfect antidote to the 'are we there yet' jitters, turning a routine journey into a peaceful observation of the natural world. The story follows young Addy as she travels from the city to the country, watching the moon 'follow' her vehicle through various landscapes. Through vibrant cut-paper illustrations, the book highlights themes of constancy, safety, and the wonder of the night sky. It is particularly appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers who are beginning to notice the world around them. Parents will appreciate how it frames the moon as a silent, protective companion, making the transition to bedtime feel like a shared adventure rather than a lonely ending to the day.
