Falling Star by Linda Liu - ADVISABLE

Falling Star by Linda Liu

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

APPEALS TO: SEVERAL

A beautiful star in the sky twinkles, dances, grants wishes, and burns bright competing with other stars for the spotlight. She feels too much pressure, and falls down from the sky. When she hits the Earth, her self-worth is at it's lowest. Will she find a new purpose that will bring back her glow?

Falling Star is definitely not for very young readers as they would not understand the concepts, but this story is charming for older children that will understand the struggles of motivations and self- confidence. I really enjoyed the simple yet dazzling illustrations.
