Yama loves the night sky, but from her bedroom window it feels impossibly far away. Then Luna arrives - a mysterious cat with a glowing star on her chest and a purr like a tiny thunderstorm. Together they leap into the velvet dark on a safari through the cosmos.
Along the way, they meet Leo the sky-lion who teaches courage, Queen Cassiopeia who whispers about being true to yourself, and the steadfast North Star who never loses her way. They spin through the Whirlpool Galaxy's carnival of light - until a great dark nebula blocks their path. Yama must find the bravery she's gathered from the stars to step into the unknown and discover what the darkness has been hiding all along.
Warm, richly illustrated, and perfect for reading aloud, Yama and Luna is a bedtime adventure that turns fear of the dark into wonder.
Perfect for: ages 3-6, bedtime read-alouds, children working through fear of the dark, kids fascinated by stars and constellations, and any family that's stayed up a little late looking up at the sky together.
The third book in the Yama Universe of standalone picture books following a young Black girl through the small, brave moments of childhood.
