Synopsis

Jump to the Moon is a heartfelt collection of stories and fairy tales written for children, yet resonating deeply with adults. Through parables, imaginative adventures, and biographical reflections, Boris Pukin invites readers to explore themes of kindness, courage, family bonds, and the importance of choices made in childhood. From the touching tale of a three-legged kitten who discovers bravery, to the whimsical adventures of a fawn who dreams of leaping high enough to touch the moon, each story carries timeless lessons about resilience, empathy, and the foundations of character. Drawing partly from his own family history and partly from fiction, Pukin weaves narratives that remind us that childhood actions shape the course of a lifetime. Rich with warmth, moral insight, and a touch of humor, this collection is dedicated to his grandchildren-and to all readers who believe in the power of stories to guide, comfort, and inspire.
