Movement of the Earth and Moon

A picture book that tells the story of the moon's birth in a fun way.

The moon is the celestial body most familiar to people.
Because it is located closest to the Earth where we live and people can see the moon every day.
We can't see the moon on rainy or cloudy days, but we still know that it's always in the sky.
As the sun sets and night falls, a soft, warm moon rises.
How long has the Moon been at Earth's side? It was formed billions of years ago when a small, newborn planet collided with Earth.
As the small planet broke apart, the molten rocks could not travel far due to Earth's gravity, so they orbited the Earth and the rocks clumped together to form the round moon.
The birth of the moon is deeply related to the Earth's gravity, and the moon is the only friend the Earth has.

A picture book that expresses the changing appearance of the moon with cute illustrations.

As billions of years pass, the Earth changes and the Moon changes.
When the Earth and the Moon were born, they were both hot, but they gradually cooled and changed color.
Additionally, the moon has been hit by rocks flying from space, which has created numerous craters.
But there are some things that don't change.
The moon and the Earth have been revolving together since a very long time ago.
The moon revolves around the Earth, and the Earth revolves around the Sun.
The moon's journey around the Earth has never stopped.
Thanks to this, the moon seen from Earth always appears different depending on its position and how much sunlight it receives.
Its shape changes slightly every day, from crescent moon to full moon, and then from full moon to crescent moon.
Very occasionally, a magical 'solar eclipse' occurs, where the moon blocks out the sun.
This picture, which personifies the ever-changing appearance of the moon, is very cute.
The friendly explanations and cute illustrations make the moon feel like a close friend.

A picture book that warmly conveys the relationship between the moon, the Earth, and people.

The moon does a lot of things next to the Earth.
The moon uses its gravity to pull on Earth's ocean waters, creating high tides, and then pushes them back, creating low tides.
The moon also helps keep the Earth stable and steady.
In addition, the moon provides moonlight to many people living on Earth.
If there were no moon, Earth's nights would be pitch-black.
People have been working hard to learn more about the moon.
We launch rockets to the moon to explore it, visit it directly, and constantly observe the moon to study its characteristics and changes.
After all, the moon has been a friend to people for a long time.
The final scene, where the moon smiles in the night sky and looks down at the child living on Earth, is heartwarming.
Through this picture book, young readers will learn about the moon in an easy and fun way and accept it as a friend in their hearts.
