Aunt Dorothy watches over her nephew Jackie, a precocious six‑year‑old who’s already asking big questions about stars, planets and rockets. When he confides that he talks to an invisible companion named Mig—a boy from a distant world whose father builds a spaceship—Dorothy’s casual bedtime stories turn into a lively exploration of what it means to dream about the cosmos.
Together they visit the local planetarium, pore over science‑fiction films, and trace constellations in the night sky, each outing fueling Jackie’s fascination with the unknown. As the child’s imagination and curiosity grow, Dorothy discovers that a simple conversation about the heavens can open a whole new universe of wonder, even for the adults who thought they’d seen it all.
