Mouse loves spending her evenings talking to Moon about her thoughts and dreams, believing they are the only ones in the whole wide world. So, when the moon comes plummeting down into the endless ocean, Mouse sets off to save her only friend alone.

A magical and exquisitely illustrated story about how even the smallest voices can bring a whole community together, by Sandra Dieckmann, the creator of The Magic Fether, Leaf and Waiting for Wolf.
