"Staircase to the Moon" By Bronwyn Houston
Staircase to the Moon follows the magical nighttime adventure of a young girl and her grandfather as they sneak out under a Broome sky to climb the staircase to the moon. Along the way, they dodge bloodthirsty mosquitoes, duck under dive-bombing bats, and trudge through sinking mangrove mud to reach the shimmering base of the moonlit path.
Inspired by the natural phenomenon seen in Broome — where the full moon reflects across the tidal mudflats creating the illusion of a glowing staircase — this story captures both the enchantment of place and the strength of intergenerational relationships.
Bronwyn Houston’s storytelling and vivid illustrations bring the wonders of the Kimberley region to life, making this a perfect book for early childhood readers. It also serves as a beautiful resource for embedding an Aboriginal perspective into space and nature themes in the classroom.
