Star Child

(2) K-3 The Star Child--"a flame of vapor, invisible and timeless"--visits Earth "as a human child." In a tender second-person address (in the voice of "his elders"), the text recounts the everyday joys and confusions of the life of a human being. Lyrical prose details all that the Star Child will learn, feel, and discover. Nivola's detailed paintings are rich with brilliant color and pattern.
