Mitsuki

About the Book

Mitsuki is a story of a lonely little moon that travels through the universe looking for a name and a home. She stumbles upon our galaxy and then makes her way into our solar system. At first, she is elated to see all of the planets; but when she begins to greet each planet, she finds that each planet has various and inhospitable characters. Finally, she finds Earth, who gives her a name and invites her to stay forever. And because of this love, the moon decides to stay with Earth and graces us all with her bright and comforting presence in the night sky.
