Some days, even brave children do not feel bright. / Algunos días, hasta los niños valientes sienten que su luz es pequeña.

Nori is excited for the neighborhood Fiesta de la Luna-until she sees the other children twirling, singing, and shining with confidence.Suddenly, her shawl wraps tightly around her shoulders, Jelly curls into a tiny knot, and Nori wonders whether someone else should take her place.Then a quiet crescent moon rises above the rooftops.It is not full.It is not the brightest light in the sky.It is still the moon.With Abuela nearby and one small place waiting at the edge of the dance, Nori discovers that she does not have to feel completely confident before she joins in. She can feel small, miss a step, and still stay.
