Are there any books where celestial bodies going through very human experiences? E.g, the moon going through a break up, the sun is on vacation, stuff like that, with little drama sprinkled throughout or even more mundane tasks like grocery shopping with a constellation?
Would appreciate any suggestions especially for poetry. Thanks!

I don’t have an answer, but I LOVE the freshness/uniqueness of this request!!! 🤩
I’ll be following!
Terry Pratchett! Mort and Hogfather specifically.
Cosmiccomics by Italo Calvino
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle — I wouldn’t say that the three stars (Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which, and Mrs. Whatsit) go through human experiences but they do become humans to help guide the protagonist on her adventures.
A little off topic but God’s Behaving Badly by Marie Phillips has the 12 gods of Olympus (with waning power) living together in London.
The Milky Way by Moiya McTier. Told from the POV of a personified Milky Way galaxy with a cat personality. 😸
Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan (?)
If books for young readers are okay, two by Diana Wynne Jones:
Dogsbody
The Game
