Bedtime prayers are folded into paper airplanes that soar all the way to the moon. There, Rabbit collects the night's wishes, turns them into stardust, and lights up the sky. One night, Rabbit sends a wish floating back to Earth; when it comes true, new friendships blossom and the usual star work takes a back seat to some well-deserved fun. But as darkness falls each day, the stars fade away, prompting Rabbit to realise it's time to journey home.

Bedtime prayers take flight on paper airplanes, travelling all the way to the moon. There, Rabbit gathers the night's haul, grinds wishes into stardust, and fills the sky with their starlight.

But one night Rabbit takes a wish and makes it float down to Earth; when it comes true he makes new friends and the star work takes a back seat to some well-earned fun. But as each day fades, so do the night stars. And with the first starless sky, Rabbit realises it's time to make the journey home.

Rabbit Moon by Jean Kim is a beautifully illustrated tale of friendship, adventure, and the importance of returning home.

Praise for Rabbit Moon

Kim's debut as both author and illustrator offers a gentle glow and comforting companionship that children will cherish, according to Publishers Weekly. The softly sketched and digitally coloured scenes create a cosy mood, complemented by gentle rhymes, notes Kirkus Reviews. Drawing inspiration from Korean folklore, Booklist highlights the story's soft, rounded characters and its appeal to very young children.
