Story overview

Henry looks at the moon before bed after a day of kind deeds, like sharing crayons and helping his sister. The Moon Rabbit, who makes magical rice cakes on the moon, notices Henry's kind heart and decides to reward him. The rabbit pounds a special dream cake and sends it floating down to Henry. As Henry sleeps, the cake gives him wonderful dreams of flying and playing with friendly animals. Henry wakes up feeling happy and grateful, thanking the moon, while the Moon Rabbit smiles, confirming that kindness is always rewarded.

Henry sat in his window seat, looking up at the glowing moon. It was his favorite thing to do before bedtime.

"Good night, bright moon," he whispered softly.

High above, on the silver moon, a gentle rabbit was hard at work. This was the Moon Rabbit, and every single night, he pounded rice into the softest, dreamiest cakes. Each cake smelled like vanilla and starlight.

The Moon Rabbit watched children everywhere. When he saw someone being kind, he smiled his warm bunny smile.

That very day, Henry had shared his crayons with a new friend at school. He held the door open for his teacher, and he helped his little sister find her lost teddy bear.
