In the darkness, while you sleep,
across night skies, Moon Child creeps
around the galaxy of dreams,
collecting magic wishing beans.
Join Moon Child on a fanciful flight through sleepy skies and calm seas, to sow some magic wishing beans. Ride on the back of a dragon, fly with fairies in a magical forest, and swim with mermaids in this perfect bedtime tale for little dreamers.
A soothing bedtime lullaby written by debut picture book author, Sue Hardy-Dawson, with enchanting illustrations by rising star, Carolina Rabei.
