Covering their various forms, including constellations and galaxies, how we study stars and our connections to stars, including navigation, astronomy, art and mythology from around the world.
For elementary readers with questions about stars, this nonfiction title offers the complete package. [...] Tang's digital illustrations resemble watercolor and manage to combine precision (for example, in a timelapse montage that explains star nurseries) and grandeur (as a mother and baby look out at the starry sky through a giant window) [...] Overall, a very readable and attractive introduction to celestial bodies. -- Susan Harari * Youth Services Book Review *
