Falling Star

Ages 4 to 8

Linda Liu brings her trademark humor and heart to a new picture book about a burnt-out star that finds it's shine after falling out of the sky.

Nobody realizes how hard it is to compete to be the shooting star that someone wishes on. And they definitely don't know that burn out impacts celestial bodies too.

When the lights go out for one star, their self-worth is thrown into flux as they plummet to the ground. But after they hit their lowest—the Earth—they find a new purpose that might just bring back their glow.

This irresistibly charming story tackles the struggles of motivation and self-confidence while dazzling readers with its stunning art.
