You Are a Star!

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Judith Rossell. An unseen narrator explains that tiny pieces of an exploded star are part of Earth and become part of each of us when we eat. This poetic but scientifically vague picture book encourages a child to feel connected to the universe without really explaining the science behind the connection. Rossell's dark blue illustrations create a suitably mysterious and involving backdrop.
