Reviews

A whimsical tale that creatively introduces three constellations. Dreamlike and quirky.  — Kirkus Reviews“This is both an enjoyable introduction to the constellations and an imaginative bedtime story . . . The loosely rhyming text is a pleasure to read aloud. Raschka’s dynamic watercolor illustrations swirl and swoop across the page.”  — Horn Book Magazine“[This] friendly fantasy brings the night sky beautifully to life.” — BooklistAn unexpected collision of the rustic and the interstellar. [A] folktale-flavored turn on the intergalactic. — Publishers WeeklyArresting watercolor compositions dotted with shining starlight spill across the pages of this original story about a night’s misfortune for a star-walking farmer and his donkey that will leave readers to wonder about the legends of the constellations. — School Library Journal (starred review)
