The Moon Comes Too
by Janine PetracekPublish: Aug 08, 2026Children'sBook Overview
Some things change. Some things never, ever do.Wren has two houses now. Mommy’s house, with the rose-colored kitchen. Daddy’s house, with the little bed by the window. Some nights she wonders if she did something wrong, or if love can stretch that far.
But every night, at both houses, the moon comes too.
Told with warmth, honesty, and a touch of wonder, The Moon Comes Too helps children ages 3 to 10 understand why mommy and daddy need to live apart — and what will never change, no matter the address. Like the moon, a family can change shape and still be whole.
Inside, children and grown-ups will find:
• A gentle, blame-free answer to the question every child silently asks: “Was it me?”
• Soothing refrains children can carry with them between houses
• A moon that changes phase on every page — a quiet find-it game for little readers
• “Things That Are Still True” — a keepsake page of promises to read aloud
• Four coloring pages, so the book becomes something a child can make their own
• A two-page Note for Grown-Ups with simple guidance for reading together, keeping the “why” blame-free, and leaving grown-up problems out of little hearts
Written for bedtime at either house, for the first hard week and the hundredth ordinary one, this is a book for every brave kid with two homes — and for the parents, grandparents, counselors, and teachers who love them.
Some things change. The moon, and love, come too.
