About these stories

The moon changes shape every night but is always the same moon. Stars are suns, very far away. Eight planets go around ours, and on one of them a storm bigger than Earth has been blowing for centuries. From very far away, our own planet is a small blue dot. Eight true stories about what is overhead at bedtime.

Rockets explains how fire pushed down makes a rocket go up; Shadows explains what a shadow is. Written for four- and five-year-olds — The Moon and Rockets for older listeners — and best read with the curtains open.
