The FingerNail Moon

By Darrell Spencer and Greg McKenzie

Maddy is curious about everything science.

She watches clouds swirl and shift across the sky, tracing their shapes with her eyes. She marvels at the stars that twinkle at night and loves learning how the planets dance in their orbits.

But nothing captures her imagination quite like the moon. And not just any moon-the one in her dreams, glowing with secrets and stories waiting to be discovered.

Join Maddy on a magical journey of wonder, where science meets stardust and dreams take flight
