…a star is different from a rock.

Going Home Books for the Holidays

Day Seven

“Stars. Who hasn’t looked up in the sky and contemplated their magical presence?…. The winning combination of Ray and Frazee crystallizes these ideas into a near-perfect picture book that encourages children’s minds to wander and wonder. The airy illustrations move across the pages like clouds in the sky, showing star shapes everywhere, even in strawberry plants, pumpkin vines, and snowflakes. In a final message, the book asks children to remember that stars are around whether you see them or not: “Every night. Everywhere.” Lovely.”
