Thank you for travelling with Astro and Comet. This is the ritual from the book, to use on any night, with or without the story: first we settle the body, then we talk.

Comet's 7 Gentle Pauses

Do them together, slowly and in a soft voice.

  1. Moon: puff up your tummy like a full Moon… and let it out slowly. Twice.

  2. Mars: squeeze your hands as if you were holding red sand… then open them.

  3. Jupiter: stretch big, big… and then be tiny again.

  4. Saturn: draw slow rings on your tummy. One, two, three.

  5. Uranus: lie down on your side, like Uranus.

  6. Neptune: blow softly, very softly, like the wind going to sleep.

  7. Pluto: still as ice. Close your eyes and count to three.

Astro's 7 Little Questions

Pick one or two. There are no wrong answers.

  1. Moon: what was the loveliest part of your day?

  2. Mars: what did you do with your hands today that you liked?

  3. Jupiter: when did you feel brave today?

  4. Saturn: who would you like to thank for today?

  5. Uranus: what made you laugh?

  6. Neptune: who would you give a magic fruit to?

  7. Pluto: what would you like to dream about tonight?
