Moon, Moon, Moon, Don't Fall Asleep

This isn't just a story about "reaching the moon."

It's a metaphor for "coming out of a low point."

For you, newly graduated:

Life won't always be bright, but you can be your own light.

And the moon will always be watching over you.

The intended effect:

To help young readers see themselves beneath the sci-fi trappings:

The longing they never put into words, the doubts that keep them up at night,

all of it will eventually be lit by the moonlight.
