Just Like The Moon is a poignant and uplifting picture book told through the voice of six-year-old Zoe, a spirited, roller-skating, flower-picking girl with a rare genetic condition called sickle cell anemia. With warmth, honesty, and imagination, Zoe invites readers into her world-where blood cells are shaped like crescent moons, hospital visits become secret nighttime missions, and hope takes the form of full-moon cells and magical possibilities.
Balancing childlike wonder with medically accurate information, Just Like The Moon gently introduces young readers to the realities of living with a chronic illness while celebrating resilience, joy, and the power of community. This story is not only a compassionate educational resource, but also a touching reminder that every child's uniqueness is a kind of magic.
Perfect for families, classrooms, and pediatric care settings, Just Like The Moon encourages empathy, understanding, and courage in the face of challenges-making it an essential read for children and the adults who love them.
