The world can be a pretty unsettled place, and children are bound to overhear adult conversations. All those big adult worries become their worries, too. They might wonder, what does all this change mean for them?

This is a tale about Little Drop, fearful about her journey through the water cycle. As she evolves and overcomes challenges, she builds reliance and even begins to enjoy what each new day brings. Momma Moon in the story is the trusted guide in a child's life who provides comfort and reassurance. Reflective questions are embedded in the book to help a child explore with their own Momma Moon a deeper understanding of their thoughts and feelings.

The intended audience not only includes children, but also parents, therapists, and teachers who can use the questions throughout the book to help children open up about their own unspoken feelings. The author's hope is that children will discover their "sparkle" and learn how to face future changes with hope and confidence.

About the Authors

Dr. Lucido has practiced as a clinical psychologist in Detroit and northern Michigan since 2003. He also holds master's degrees in child psychology and clinical psychopharmacology. His best friend and wife, Dr. Melissa Makowski, has been the love of his life ever since the fifth grade. They have many fur-friends like Helios, Cash, and Circe. Their daughter Carmela is a brilliant, brave little drop. She inspired this story through her persistent requests to hear "Dada's bedtime story about a little drop." It was his hope it would help her understand the ever-changing events which occurred throughout the pandemic. Dr. Lucido believed the water cycle was an inspirational symbol for life's journey, and water reflects the vital role that it plays in sustaining life. Keep shining as their moon and they will keep sparkling.
