   Dwarf stars, being small, would have a “Goldilocks zone” (for   
   Earth-type life, anyway) very close in, leading to tidally-locked   
   planets, if you wanted livable ones.   
      
   However, it occurs to me that moons of those planets would be in the   
   same Goldilocks zone, and being tidally locked (if at all) to their   
   primary planet rather than the star, would enjoy the   
   temperature-moderating effects of day/night cycles to some degree.   
      
   If the planet were a giant planet, it could even have a decent-sized   
   moon, with sufficient gravity to hold on to a usable atmosphere.
