Under the shifting phases of the moon, Santiago and Great Bear become friends.In the city, Santiago was used to crowds of people and glowing lights. But when his family moves to the quiet countryside, with its vast, starry sky, he feels small and alone. Santiago makes a wish on the only constellation he knows. To his amazement, Great Bear falls from the sky to keep him company. But when the new moon arrives, Santiago must help his new friend return to the stars. Though saying goodbye is hard, Santiago discovers that every ending makes room for a new beginning—and maybe even a new friend close to home.Blending lyrical storytelling with astronomy and themes of hope, friendship, and confidence Santiago and Great Bear sparks children’s creativity and offers comfort and inspiration to children navigating big changes. With additional information on constellations and phases of the moon at the back, the book engages children’s curiosity about the moon and stars and also fits well with STEM units focused on the night sky.Santiago and Great Bear:

  • Tells a sweet and inspiring story of a boy who befriends Ursa Major
  • Portrays accurate constellations and moon phases
  • Offers comfort and hope to children moving to new places
  • Explores themes of friendship, kindness, and responsibility
Poetic, tender, and filled with wonder, Santiago and Great Bear invites children to look up at the night sky—and to being open to new opportunities in every change.
