The Coziest Place on the Moon by Maria Popova

An adorable, imaginative escapist read for children and adults alike. Written by poet and essayist Maria Popova, this little book about a lonely creature who seeks solace in a cozy spot in space does not condescend to its young readers but gently introduces them to new words and themes. Perfect for ages 5 to 8, this book supposes that the cure to loneliness is the happiness and creativity found in solitude. Enchanting, otherworldly, and so beautifully illustrated!
