Why it works at bedtime
Competence at an age when children rarely get to feel any. Ends with a pale blue street, flour still on her cheek, and dreams of warm rolls and a quiet kitchen.

More like this live in the app — this site shows only part of MoonPage's library, and new stories keep being added.
Nora's Kind Cookies
A cold porch. A neighbour who's always out there reading. Can a plate of star-shaped cookies say what Nora means?
Maya Waits for the Cake
Batter in the pan. Timer set. Mama's birthday cake is in the oven — so how do you survive the waiting?
Mia's Secret Meadow
A copper compass lying in the ferns. A note that says walk slow and look close. Where is it pulling Mia?
The Sharing Tree
A basket filled to the top with apples. One hungry friend after another asking for just one. What's left for Clara at the end?
The Rainbow Umbrella
One grey drippy day. One rainbow umbrella. A kitten, a duckling, a puppy, a lamb — is there room under there for everyone?
