The bedtime story for little astronauts
A cardboard rocket, a whole moon, and a star waiting every night.

Your child climbs in and blasts off to the moon, bounces over craters as light as a feather, and meets a little star with no one to play with. It's a big adventure that ends quietly in bed — with a promise that turns looking out the window into a nightly ritual.

What's the story?
At bedtime, the cardboard rocket in the yard starts to rumble. Your child climbs in and blasts off to the moon, bounces over the craters in low gravity, and meets a little star who has no one to play with. They play together until it's time to go, and before flying home to bed, they make a promise: every night, a wave from the window — and the star always twinkles back.

An adventure that winds down to sleep
Space stories get kids excited, which is the last thing parents want at bedtime. So this trip starts with a big blast-off and ends slowly: a quiet trip home, a warm bed, a star twinkling far away. Your child closes the book ready to sleep, not ready to bounce out of bed.
A wave from the window, every night
The promise at the end of the story doesn't stop when the book closes. After reading, you can stand at the window and wave to the stars together, and it becomes your own little ritual. And on nights when sleep is hard to find, a star waiting for them is a gentle reason to climb into bed.

Questions about “Trip to the Moon”
Is it a good fit for a child who's afraid of the dark?
Yes. In this story, the night is a warm place full of stars, with a little friend waiting. And a star that twinkles back from the window makes the dark feel a lot less lonely.
What kind of photo do you need?
A clear photo of the face in natural light is all it takes — a phone photo is perfect. Avoid dark photos or ones where the face is turned to the side. If the photo won't work, we'll tell you and ask for another before we start.
Can I add a dedication on the first page?
Yes. Write us the dedication you'd like — a line or a paragraph — and we'll print it on the first page in elegant type. It's the page parents come back to years later.
What language is the book in?
English — short, warm sentences made for reading aloud, with your child's name on the cover and throughout the story. You'll see the cover in the free preview, and the whole book in the proof before we print.
What if I don't love the book?
We don't print anything until you've seen the digital proof and approved it. And if your printed book arrives with a printing defect, we'll reprint and ship it again for free.
