Nigel and the Moon is a story about a young boy who’s afraid to tell the world his dreams, so he tells them to the moon at night. This book is about children dreaming. This book allows Nigel to see himself in the world. He can dream and whisper his wishes to the moon.

From Winsome's list on children being unapologetic.
