Cozy and expansive at once, this warm bedtime book reminds us that our aspirations—no matter how big—deserve the universe.

A gorgeous picture-book ode to wonder and safety, told in cumulative rhyme and with earthy illustrations evoking brick brownstones and crisp autumn skies. In a galaxy spiraling white, on a small blue planet with a moon so pretty, in a green park in a bustling city, a little girl sits on a blanket with her family, eating a sandwich, an apple, and chips. Equipped with a telescope and a space book, Violet gazes up into the great beyond, imagining a rocket ride to the stars . . . and a soft, sleepy return to her blanket.

Lyrical and meditative, this is the perfect picture book to savour and share during a late-night picnic under the moon—or anytime.
