The Moon Moved In

The Moon Moved In by Sue Soltis, illustrated by Sonia Sanchez, is a whimsical and heartwarming picture book that explores the magic of friendship and the essential role of the Moon in our world. When the Moon moves into the empty house next door, young Stella is thrilled to finally have a friend. The rooms glow with light, and the Moon happily tends a garden. But without the Moon in orbit, Earth begins to unravel—the tides stop, the planet wobbles, and nature falls out of balance.

Stella must convince her new friend that the world needs the Moon back in the sky, even if it means losing the neighbor she's come to love. Through lyrical storytelling and luminous illustrations, the book gently teaches readers about the Moon's impact on Earth and the importance of selflessness and connection.
