About this story
Every single night, Moon rises over the sleeping world and glows her soft silver light — but lately, Moon sighs. One small, sleepy sigh, three nights in a row, so quiet that almost nobody hears it. Almost nobody. But Sparkle, the smallest star in the sky, hears — and discovers the reason: Moon's birthday is coming, and nobody has ever celebrated it. So the stars plan the best surprise party the sky has ever seen. Dash the comet races to every planet: Mercury zips laps of joy, Venus brings her shimmer, Mars kicks up confetti, Jupiter offers his Great Red Spot as a dance floor, Saturn brings her finest ribbons, and frosty Uranus and Neptune bring the iciest treats. There's just one problem: Dash forgot someone small, far away, and left out. A warm, glowing story about noticing the quiet ones — and including everyone.
- Comet — a ball of ice and dust that streaks across the sky with a glowing tail
- Planet — a large world that circles the sun
- Solar system — the sun and everything that circles it
- Shimmer — a soft, wavering shine
- Confetti — tiny pieces thrown in celebration
- Sigh — a long, slow breath that shows how you feel
- Frosty — icy cold
- Celebrate — to do something joyful for a special day
