The Moon’s Silver Button

by Paul Cliff

A soft plink in the grass leads Goldie to a lost silver button—and to a promise she must keep before sunrise. The button belongs to Moon, who shows Goldie the empty place where it belongs. But even when Goldie climbs to the top of the knoll, Moon is still too far away to reach.

Then Goldie spots a shimmering thread beside the brook. Could it lead her to a way to return the button? Following its twists takes careful attention, patient hands, and a clever idea. As the sky begins to pale, Goldie must find a way to make the thread hold the button and carry out her promise.

The Moon’s Silver Button is a gentle nighttime adventure about kindness, determination, and the satisfaction of working through a problem. With its soothing sounds and a resourceful young hero, it makes a sweet read-aloud for preschoolers and a tender bedtime story to share.
