If you have ever looked up in the night sky and gazed at the beauty of the stars, this book is for you! Stars is one of the sweetest books that a family can share together. Author Mary Lyn Ray invites readers to contemplate the meaning of stars. A star lets you know it is almost night time. They make the darkness not feel quite so dark. What if you could have a star? You could catch them in a basket as they fell to earth. You could keep one in your pocket for good luck. A star on your shirt makes you a sheriff and one on the end of a stick makes a wand. Illustrator Marla Frazee’s artwork is stunning Created from graphite, gouache, and gel pens, the beautiful pictures give life to Ray’s words. Each page features a multicultural cast of children interacting with majestic stars. Frazee captures the innocence of childhood. Let Frazee and Ray take you on a special journey through the eyes of children. Readers of all ages will find themselves searching for stars everywhere they look. Add some magic back in your life.
