He noticed that some nights the moon was big and round like a giant lemon, but other nights it was just a tiny silver fingernail. "Where does the rest of it go?" he wondered aloud to his stuffed bear. Suddenly, a tiny twinkling light zipped down from the sky and landed right on his windowsill. It was a little star with bright eyes and tiny blue sneakers.

Starry, a small, five-pointed gold star wearing tiny blue sneakers and having big, bright eyes, sits on the windowsill. The night sky outside is dark blue with soft clouds.

"I am Starry, and I can show you the moon's secret!" the little star chirped in a voice like a tiny bell. With a magical sprinkle of glittering stardust, Oliver floated right out his window and into the soft, purple-tinted clouds. They flew higher and higher through the cool night air until they reached the middle of the Milky Way. Oliver looked around and saw a gentle glow peeking from behind a giant, fluffy cloud shaped like a pillow.

Luna, a glowing, pearly-white orb with a gentle, smiling face and shimmering silver eyelashes, is peeking out from behind a large white cloud.

"We are playing the Great Cosmic Hide and Seek!" Luna the Moon explained with a gentle, shimmering voice. She told Oliver that every month, she tries to find the very best hiding spots in the vast, dark sky. Sometimes she hides her round tummy behind the shadows of distant planets, and other times she wraps herself in a dark, starry blanket. When she hides most of herself away, she looks like a skinny crescent to the people watching from Earth.

Luna, a glowing, pearly-white orb with a gentle, smiling face and shimmering silver eyelashes, is partially covered by a dark, starry cloth as if hiding. Oliver, a cheerful kid with pale skin and blonde hair, and Starry, a small, five-pointed gold star wearing tiny blue sneakers and having big, bright eyes, watch Luna with curious expressions.

Suddenly, Luna vanished behind a thick curtain of space mist, leaving only a tiny, glowing sliver visible in the dark. "Oh no, I can't see the way back home!" Starry cried, his little gold points shaking with worry. The sky had become very dark, and the path of stardust they followed was starting to fade. Oliver reached into his pocket and pulled out his favorite silver flashlight, knowing he had to help find their friend so she would come out and light up the night again.

Starry, a small, five-pointed gold star wearing tiny blue sneakers and having big, bright eyes, looks worried. A tiny sliver of Luna, a glowing, pearly-white orb with a gentle, smiling face and shimmering silver eyelashes, is visible through the mist.

Oliver clicked his flashlight on, and a bright beam of light danced across the sky until it landed on a round, glowing shape. "Found you, Luna!" Oliver shouted happily, and Luna giggled a sound like tinkling bells as she stepped out from her hiding spot. She became a big, glowing circle once more, lighting up the entire sky with her pearly glow. Luna thanked Oliver for being such a good seeker and promised to shine her brightest until he was tucked safely back into his warm bed.
