Illustrated by
Layn Marlow.
Out to sea in a boat, a mother vows to keep her boy safe, the captain vows to keep them both safe, and a star vows to guide them. Back home, the boy pledges to catch the star if it falls. The childlike question-and-response text paired with night-hued illustrations of a storm-tossed sea and a cozy coastal town make this cycle of care a comforting lullaby.
