The story

Every night, Rosie the ringtail possum wakes up when the moon comes out. She loves its soft silver light. But tonight, when she peeks out of her cosy nest, the sky is dark. The moon is missing!

Rosie swings down through the gum trees to wake her friends. Boo the wise little boobook owl and Flossie the flying fox join the search. They look in the billabong, behind the hill and even inside a hollow log. When Flossie flies high and finds only fluffy clouds, Boo has an idea: maybe the moon isn't lost at all. Maybe it's just hiding.
