Tonight was the pond's Moon Parade. Nori wanted to bring a moon of his very own.
He gathered willow, paper, ribbon, and a tiny battery light.
"Round as a bubble," he said. "Bright as a wish!"
Over the reeds, the real moon waited.

With a little help from two friends, Nori discovers a new kind of beautiful. A warm illustrated read-aloud about trying again, accepting help, and making room for a wobble.
