Hello Star

Description

A stunningly illustrated picture book celebration of stars, science and empathy. Hello, Star. I know you're scared, but you're not alone. From Stephanie Lucianovic and #1 New York Times bestselling artist Vashti Harrison, author of the Little Leaders series, Hello, Star is an inspirational picture book about a love of science and the importance of empathy. When a young girl learns that a bright light in the sky is coming from a dying star, she promises to keep it company until the light goes out. Every night the girl reassures her friend that she is still there. As the years pass, the girl learns everything she can about planets, space, and the universe, inspired by her dimming friend - until she realises she needs to do something more. This touching tribute to stars, space, and science celebrates how a small act of compassion can flourish into a life full of meaning and wonder.
