Children’s Book
The Nursery in the Sky
A gentle story about waiting, belonging, and finding your way home.
The story
High above the world is a nursery in the sky, where baby animals live among the stars, each waiting for the night they’ll be born into a family below. Little Bunny watches the warm windows of the houses far beneath him and loses his heart to one in particular – the Mouse family’s cottage in the woods. But wanting is not the same as belonging, and Nanny Moon, the nursery’s kind guardian, must find a way to keep her gentle promise that everything will be okay. A tender story about longing, patience, and the many shapes a family can take.
