I adored this book as a child. Many nights I drifted off to sleep after this being read to me by my mother. I had a lot of books as a child, but this is one I've hung on to in order to share with my children if I ever have any.
I don't know if t was the story or illustrations I loved when I was younger, I just know it was one of my favourite books.

Would you like to know a secret? For half my life, I was not Josephine, I was called Laura. This was one of the few books I received shortly after the name change and one of my favorites. The books about Josephine were far better, '[b:Jennifer and Josephine|355591|Jennifer and Josephine|Bill Peet|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1348452179s/355591.jpg|875488]' and '[b:Josephine's 'Magination|6320469|Josephine's 'Magination|Arnold Dobrin|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1319256209s/6320469.jpg|5070552]' stand out, and were far more my speed, but this one held up alright.
It's about a girl who finds a star and - if I remember correctly - she takes a self-built spaceship into the night sky and sets it back amongst it's friends. (It was a popular children's book series and even had a run as a cartoon!)
I've never had much use for stars in my reviews. On my book blog I've never used them. Taking instead an idea from a blog I love to simply recommend whether you read a book or not, whether you should buy a book or not. It's time I carried it over, because these stars, which rate passion rather than quality, do not belong to anyone other than ourselves. I don't want to tolerate my star ratings being mined for data. Whether for sales on amazon, or to be handed over in the future to those operating under the Patriot Act. GR exists in America, home of the free, after all.
The link is tenuous at best, but inspired by this children's picture book, I will be removing the stars and no longer rating with them on GR.Those that exist have already been loaded onto the servers, but they will not all be relevant in a years time. And in ten years - who knows.
I recommend you buy this book, the English translation most likely, for a girl named Laura, or any child you know who is interested in space or the stars. You may enjoy reading it yourself. If you have no children in your life, borrow it from the library. I really liked it.

Man, I loved this book as a child - 5*
Reading something for RE teaching on the gift of love and friendship, and this was recommended. Then, I had a flashback to how much I adored this book. 6-year-old me would be disappointed in 22-year-old me...
What a flashback!

Laura jedného večera nájde spadnutú hviezdu. Opraví jej zlomený cíp a teší sa, že má doma ozajstnú nebeskú hviezdičku. Po čase ale hviezda začne blednúť. Laura si uvedomí, že musí hviezdičku vrátiť späť na oblohu.
Milý príbeh o tom, že niekedy sa musíme vzdať toho, čo máme radi. Pretože je to tak lepšie.
Zaujímvým textom, ktorého nie je veľa a milými celostranovými ilustráciami je kniha perfektná pre prvé samostatné čítanie. Pre deti od 3 do 7 rokov.

Klaus Baumgart, Laura's Star (Little Tiger Press, 1996)
Cute kidlit that has every chance to descend into the maudlin and resists the temptation every time—not every day you can say THAT about a kids' book. Laura learns lessons about logical thinking (something else sorely missed in many of today's kids' books) and the old adage about letting something go if you love it. I'm quite fond of this one, and so is the kid; it went into rotation almost immediately. *** ½
