Winner at the 2011 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards. A magical, heart-melting story about words that will captivate our hearts. A young girl shares her love of words and rescues people from feeling lost and blue.
Luna is a girl who lives high, high up in the sky. So high that her homeland coudn’t be seen from the ground. She was an extraordinary little girl, one of a kind. Luna had the most special endearing pastime: she liked to collect words. She preferred beautiful words, those funny words that make you burst into laughter when you pronounce them, and also those that filled your heart with joy and embrace your soul for a very long time.
But a day came when everything changed, and the words that Luna had guarded with so much care were disappearing one by one. “What was happening?”, Luna wondered. She found out what was causing the disaster—men were forgetting all the beautiful words. They did not think words were important anymore. No way would she let that happen! Determined and ready to find a solution, Luna set out with her beautiful words to convince humanity of the importance of sharing joy and happiness.
