Sunday night, Charlotte Snow White sits atop her swingset clubhouse castle surveying her yard domain.

Suddenly she sees the moon, big and round, hanging low in the sky.

“Guess what I see! Do you know what it is? Do you see it?”

The rest of her family kingdom could not see it from their humble positions on the ground.

After moving around a tree and much ducking and bobbing of heads, however, they managed to see it, the moon, glorious moon.

Charlotte Snow White descends from on high with a grand announcement.

“I’m going to go put my space costume on.”

She goes into the house. A few minutes later a voice is heard calling down.

“Hey, guys, can you see me?”

The Queen Mother (her grandmother) calls out: “Where are you, Charlotte?”

“Up here. I’m in my room. I’m putting my space costume on. Can you see me?”

Soon Charlotte an astronaut returns from her mission.

Wearing fleece pajamas a shiny spacesuit, she treated us to a special gift from outer space – sparklers!
