Stars

Marla Frazee is Ivy's favorite illustrator.  I was thrilled to see a new book out with Marla and a local New Hampshire author, Mary Lyn Ray.  Ivy loves this book.  It is about stars both real and metaphorical.  It is about the power of finding the "star" within you on off days.

Some days you feel shiny as a star
If you've done something important, 
people may call you a star.


But some days
you don't feel 
shiny.


Those days,
it's good
to reach 
for the one
in your
pocket. 

The words become hauntingly beautiful with the illustrations.  What a combo!
