Star in the Jar

Beschreibung

A warm-hearted and enchanting bedtime story that celebrates the rewards of true friendship. What would you do with a fallen star? When a little boy stumbles across a lost star, he decides to take care of it, putting it in a jar and carrying it with him everywhere. But when the sky calls out for its missing star, can the little boy and his sister figure out a way to return the star to its friends in the sky...even if it means saying goodbye forever? Praise for Star in the Jar: "A cheery, warm-hearted tale, beautifully told."--The Guardian "I love this cheery tale of two siblings who learn the lesson that when you love something, you sometimes have to let it go."--Angela Redden, Reading Rock Books (Dickson, TN) "Hay carefully keeps an even tone, never letting the whimsy descend into treacle and always maintaining a sense of wonder. Massini's lively and imaginative illustrations beautifully complement and enhance the text, providing additional insights into the children's activities and emotions... Tender and loving."--Kirkus Reviews

Rezensionen

'A cheery, warm-hearted tale, beautifully told' - Imogen Carter, The Guardian

'An exceedingly enchanting story that encapsulates both the awe and wonder of the stars, the night sky and of the unique bond between siblings ... Incandescently, radiantly, resplendently brilliant! It's a dazzling delight that will truly shine on your bookshelf' - Mr E, The Reader Teacher

'Very special ... a perfect bedtime tale' - Read It, Daddy!, Blogger

'A warm, comforting read. Perfect for bedtime' - Emma Perry, Awfully Big Reviews

'Full of warmth, this is a lovely story of siblings, friendship and doing what's right that is perfect for sharing

just before sleep but too enjoyable to be restricted to bedtime reading only' - Jillrbennett, Red Reading Hub

'The children are innocent believers who know that anything is possible. The big sister is steadfast and immensely supportive of her little brother, narrating the tale with great pride and compassion. Hay carefully keeps an even tone, never letting the whimsy descend into treacle and always maintaining a sense of wonder. Massini's lively and imaginative illustrations beautifully complement and enhance the text, providing additional insights into the children's activities and emotions. Many of the people they encounter are brown skinned; the siblings are shown as pale-skinned and dark-haired. Tender and loving' - Kirkus Reviews
