Rosalina's Story

Rosalina's Storybook, also known as Rosalina's Story, is a book in Super Mario Galaxy. While it is never explicitly said, it is the story of how Rosalina made it into outer space and how she became the "mother" of the Lumas. In the Comet Observatory's Library, Rosalina sometimes reads from the storybook to the Lumas traveling with her. Mario/Luigi can come in to listen to the story. In all, the storybook contains nine chapters.

Yoshiaki Koizumi, director of Super Mario Galaxy, was the writer of the storybook. He wrote the script late at night when no one was around so no one would know what was in it. The next day, he told Shigeru Miyamoto about the story and presented it to him. Miyamoto was surprised that Yoshiaki wrote the script late at night with nobody around. Yoshiaki Koizumi, in Nintendo Power, mentions that he would enjoy seeing Rosalina's Storybook get published as a children's book.

Story
After Mario enters the library, Rosalina will begin to read the following story.

Other appearances
The storybook appears in the secret ending of Super Mario Galaxy 2, where Rosalina is seen closing the book, having just finished reading it to the Lumas.

The book itself makes a minor appearance in Mario Party 10, where it can be seen in the south-western part of the Rosalina Board. It is sitting on a round table, surrounded by two Lumas.

Super Mario Galaxy Trading Card description
''In the Library, Rosalina reads a story to the Lumas about how a young girl and a Luma built a spaceship to go in search of the Luma's mama. Eventually the little girl takes on a motherly role for this Luma and count-less others, much like Rosalina herself.''

Trivia
sleeping spot.
 * The starship that is mentioned many times throughout the story appears to be the Starshroom that the Lumas built with the Toads in Super Mario Galaxy. It differs, though, since it has no glass in the portholes/windows. It can be seen, moss-covered, in the extra credits sequence, after 120 Power Stars have been obtained.
 * This story reveals a few things about Rosalina herself.
 * She likes to nap in her favorite
 * She sleeps with a stuffed bunny(though it is currently unknown if she still does).
 * Baby Rosalina's design contradicts the events of the storybook; despite Rosalina meeting the Lumas when she was a child, her baby form has her dress decorated with stars, a crown with jewels, and a wand. She also has blond hair, while Rosalina has red hair as a child in the storybook.
