Reach for this book when your child has a hidden talent they are afraid to show others, or when they feel overwhelmed by the pressure to perform. Harriet is a young cellist who loves her music but hates the idea of an audience. When an accidental mishap brings the Moon down to Earth, she finds a private, magical space to play just for him. It is a gentle exploration of introversion and the realization that sharing your art can be a form of connection rather than just a performance. This story is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are navigating social anxiety or starting new extracurricular activities. It validates the need for quiet spaces and shows that bravery doesn't always mean standing on a big stage; sometimes, it just means playing a song for a new friend. Parents will appreciate the ethereal illustrations and the way it frames creativity as a personal journey of joy.
