Some day in the near future those reading this story may actually live and work on the Moon, and who knows, they may end up writing their own story for young inquiring adults back on Earth asking how the Earth's phases work.

One night it is in one place and the next in a completely different part of the sky.

"...there is lots of fun ways" should read "...there are lots of fun ways". "Is" can't be used with plurals such as "lots". Keeping a moon journal is a great idea, though. I'll certainly start doing that with my son. Thank you. You've made a grammatical error. "…there is lots of fun ways" should read "…there are lots of fun ways".
