Description:
During a blackout, a parent gathers stars to comfort their child, then returns them to the sky, and together they sleep under the stars outside.
Review Quotes: Emberley balances relatable moments and adorable interactions with themes of problem-solving and appropriation versus sharing, while his deliciously quirky illustrations feature rich colors that elevate the cartoon-style characters. A truly stellar nighttime adventure.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Emberley's adorable catlike protagonist, who previously appeared in I Did It!, returns in another charming early reader installment. . . Young readers will relate to the anxiety of darkness and the comfort of a night light, shared story, and loving parent. A richly imagined story to help children find balance when they are afraid, this is highly recommended for all collections.
--School Library Journal (starred review)
Imaginative play brightens up bedtime rituals in this funny and sincere comic perfectly pitched for emerging readers.
--The Horn Book (starred review)
We've seen this child/parent duo before in Emberley's award-winning
I Did It!, and bedtime-goers will be happy to snuggle with them again as they doze off.
