Sailing to the Moon

When the house goes quiet, a small boy’s paper boat grows big enough to climb into — and the night sky turns out to be an ocean.

Past constellations and sleeping villages he sails, chasing the great glowing moon, with only a lantern and his very best pyjamas.

Painted in deep indigos and moonlight golds — the book families tell us ends every bedtime.

A masterclass in winding down. The rhythm of the text slows with every page — deliberately, beautifully.
