A parent might reach for this book when a child is missing a parent who travels for work, or to spark curiosity about space and our planet. The story follows a girl named Terra performing as Earth in a school play. Her performance is beautifully woven together with the story of her mother, an astronaut, traveling home from space. It celebrates the powerful mother-daughter bond across vast distances, focuses on pride and wonder over sadness, and normalizes the experience of temporary separation. The inclusion of real NASA photos makes it a unique blend of heartwarming fiction and awe-inspiring science, perfect for children ages 4 to 8 who are navigating a parent's absence or are simply fascinated by the stars.
