Reach for this book when you are preparing for a business trip, a vacation without your child, or any period of separation that might cause your little one anxiety. It beautifully addresses the common worry that out of sight means out of mind, proving that a parent carries their child in their heart wherever they go. The story follows a mother who visits Paris and returns to tell her daughter that despite the magic of the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, her best memory was the moon, because it was the one thing they both saw at the same time. It is a gentle, poetic tool for validating a child's feelings of longing while providing the reassurance that love bridges any geographical distance. Best for children ages 3 to 7, it turns a difficult goodbye into a shared discovery of connection.
