Luna Little Legs: Luna loves playing with her friends at kitten club, but at home things are different. One terrible night, Luna overhears a domestic abuse incident and, when her own name is mentioned, she wonders if it might be her fault. With a comforting rhyming structure and age-appropriate tone, three alternative endings allow the story to be personalised to the experiences of the individual child.
