[[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.

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.

*[[Baby Rosalina]]'s design may contradict the events of the storybook; she has a crown with jewels, similar the one she wears as an adult, while the crown of the young Rosalina in the story has no jewels. However, this could merely be a limitation of the artstyle of the book's illustrations.

* In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', beating the game after collecting 120 Power Stars will result in a cutscene showing Rosalina reading a similar storybook, only this time, the book recaps the game's events. After finishing said book, Rosalina starts reading another one, this time about the [[Green Star]]s.
