Illustrated by
Marla Frazee.
Ray's quiet, friendly narrative begins and ends with stars in the night sky. In between are musings about other kinds of stars: the ones you cut out of shiny paper and those found in nature (snowflakes, dandelion seeds), for example. Frazee's illustrations feature her signature spot-art vignettes that alternate with expansive full- and double-page spreads. A contemplative and lovely book.
