When the moon is full and a Bogong breeze stirs the still night air, something magical begins to unfold... In Once In A Bogong Blue Moon, Alice and her ever-purring, ever-changing cat Stripes find themselves caught between wonder and waiting. As the mysterious Bogong moths prepare for their long migration, Alice is faced with her own quiet challenge: learning the power of patience. Guided by her giggling Uncle Puggie and comforted by the gentle purrs of her magical feline friend, Alice mishears a grown-up word-Trichotillomania-and thinks it must be something fun, something silly, maybe even a "Tickle Tickle Many." But as her thoughts wander from moths to moonlight and feelings she doesn't yet have words for, Alice begins to discover that some things-like moths, emotions, and even tangled thoughts-take time to understand. This imaginative, heartwarming tale is perfect for readers aged 6–10. It weaves together the quiet magic of nature, the wonder of transformation, and the tender truth that it's okay not to have all the answers. Sometimes, patience is the most powerful kind of magic.
