Stars are Everywhere








"A star is how you know it's almost night." So begins this comforting story of children discovering stars in the night sky and all around them in the natural world. There are star shaped flowers on the pumpkin vines; snowflake stars on wintry days; and thousands of stars floating from a dandelion puff. Observe the world from a child's eye and I promise you'll discover stars where you never looked before. Mary Lyn Ray and Marla Frazee have created what I believe will become a childhood classic, full of wonder and delight. Ray's poetic words and Frazee's charming illustrations are in perfect harmony. Do yourself a favor. Check out Stars. Share it with your children and during this magical season enjoy the night. Wrap your kids up in blankets & head outside with a thermos of hot chocolate. Daily snuggling up with a good book and sharing a few moments of quiet will make a lasting impression on your children.
