Not everything always has to be in order…

One quiet night, the moon sits on his silver swing and thinks to himself: how should he sort the stars? Should he sort them based on their size, their weight, or perhaps based on how bright they shine? But what exactly is brightness? He thinks about it and tries to go with their colors. Now, the only thing left for him to decide is in which pattern he wants to place them in the sky: rows, circles, or squares? All of a sudden, the moon lets out a big sneeze and the stars he has just carefully sorted are sent flying around…

Lena Raubaum describes with loving detail the order of things and how sometimes everything just falls into place on its own. With enchanting illustrations by Polish artist Zuzanna Kowalska.
