BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
A young Black girl sees a star go nova one night and promises it that she will come see it before it goes out forever.
Harrison’s dreamy blue illustrations are a beauty to behold. However, I was so confused because the book reads like non-fiction until she starts doing the impossible. The wish to see the star is sweet, but there needs to be a bigger divide between the real and the imaginary.
