Stars are everywhere.
Not just in the sky.
I'm over
the moon happy to share Margo's latest book obsession with you. She heard it
last week for the first time and has wanted it read to her no less than three
times a day since. Luckily, I love it too! Stars is written by Mary Lyn Ray and illustrated by
Marla Frazee. It's an enchanting story for people of all ages. The illustrations
are imaginative and fanciful, which makes them flow perfectly with the writing.
Of course, since we first read the story Margo has had a star in her pocket, and
so have I. Plus, we've been looking for stars everywhere, and I'm amazed at all the places we've discovered them!
Have
you ever wondered what a star is? If so, this book will take you on a wild
adventure and help your imagination soar. Stars may come out when it is almost
night, but we can find them just about anywhere. We know stars make the
night seem less scary, so isn’t it a good idea to carry a one with
us? Who knows when we'll need a star
for ourselves or starlight to give to another. Margo loves stargazing with me, and now she
points out objects all the time that she's deemed a “star”. Like Margo, you'll fall in love with this book. I like the message within
the words of the story; stars are everywhere! I would recommend this book to kids, book lovers, and sky gazers of all ages.
Happy reading! ~ F
