Bookroo's summary

Sophia escapes to the moon, seeking freedom from rules and her mom. Through witty letters exchanged with her mom, Sophia learns someone new has taken her place at home, enjoying her favorite meals and stories. As the moon's allure fades, will Sophia's heart find its way back to Earth? Discover a tale of humor, imagination, and the unbreakable bond of love.

From the publisher

Life on Earth isn’t always fair, so Sophia runs off to the moon, where there are no bedtimes, no time-outs, and no Mom.But as Sophia and her mom send letters to each other, Mom has a clever comeback for all of Sophia’s angry notes. Home starts to sound not-quite-so-bad, especially when Mom reports that someone from the moon has moved in to Sophia’s old room, they’re having spaghetti for dinner, and they’re reading Sophia’s favorite story at bedtime.A through line of unconditional love underscored with lots of humor and imagination makes this picture book a stellar pick for storytime.
