I bought a vintage copy of this book from Carousell and it blew my mind how beautifully illustrated it was. The story subtly touches on love, peace, healing after war, the importance of letting young children explore their dreams instead of belittling them and the love between found family, neighbours and new friends. I re-read this even as an adult and I still loved every bit of it. The hand drawn images are lovely, the story is captivating and charming. Any child who loves whimsy, exploration, adventures with eccentric characters and of course, the moon will be enthralled by this gem of a book.
