Spending the night away from home for the first time is exciting, but it can also be a little scary. That’s how Kalle and Elsa feel. During a sleepover at Elsa’s house, they stay up watching the owls and the moon and imagine building a rocket to explore space together.

This German picture book by Jenny Westin Verona, illustrated by Jesús Verona, encourages children to feel brave and shows that there is no need to be afraid of the night.

It is suitable for children aged 4 and up.

Afterwards, you can craft Kalle and Elsa in their rocket.
