Tamen's favorite book character is Skywatcher, and he wants to travel to the stars like she does, but he lives in a bright city and can't see the stars at all. So his mother takes him camping, and Tamen finally sees the stars. And it's so much better than he expected. 

Jamie Hogan has written and illustrated a beautiful story. Readers will love the camping trip and the constellations drawn into the pictures of the night sky. I loved the author's note which talks about light pollution, stars, owls, and moths, and even gives some tips on becoming Skywatcher!
