The Moon Above the Courtyard

At bedtime, Dev has one small job left: put away the last rinsed bowl. But before he tips out the water, he spots a tiny moon shining inside. A moment later, it is gone.

Where could it have disappeared? With Mom nearby, four-year-old Dev turns the bowl over, follows the water he spilled, and studies a little puddle beside the jasmine. He tries to bring the moon back, but water alone does not solve the mystery. The sky, the courtyard, and a careful look may hold the clue. Can Dev discover what his little moon needs before bedtime?

The Moon Above the Courtyard makes room for the wonder tucked into an ordinary evening. Gentle sounds, patient observation, and Dev’s growing curiosity invite preschoolers to slow down and look closely, making this a warm story to share at bedtime or any quiet moment together.
