Hello, Mr. Moon

Book excerpt: Hello, Mr. Moon is first and foremost a bedtime story that I wrote for my oldest daughter, Madyson (three years old). This is a book about what kids often tell themselves or imagine as they lay in bed at night once Mom and Dad have tucked them in and wished them sweet dreams, sealed with a kiss good-night. It is a simple traditional story of the imagination and the creativity of a childs mind when thats all he or she is left with. It has a traditional nursery rhyme style to it that I didnt get from some of the books I often read to my daughter. The story is simply about a little girl who is trying to go to sleep after being tucked in for bed by her mom but finds it hard to do so. She begins to have a conversation with the moon, and Mr. Moon attempts to do all he can to help her fall asleep. He tries a variety of methods that all have different results but the one he was hoping for. Throughout the story, Mr. Moon and Madyson try what they can to help Madyson fall asleep, and by the end, shes found what shes looking for before she even knows it. This is a great bedtime story for you and your little one to read over and over again.
