Fireflies and mystic moon

Mystic moon and brilliant night

filled with friends and firelight

On a hot summer night, Mother Moon soothes a little star baby who won't go to sleep. With her magic, she spins a warm, lyrical tale of friendship and fun: a dreamy summer evening set beneath a blanket of twinkling stars as children and forest friends with balloons enjoy a country fair with a carousel and caramel apples before taking a fantastical trolley ride to a marvelous, light-filled destination. 

A captivating book, sure to be picked up night after night, that will send all little star babies off to dreamland.
