Who wouldn't want their own star? But the real gem in this story is the gentle lesson on learning that "if you love someone, let them go." I was amazed when the kids picked up on the emotions of the star from its body language later in the story.

Sometimes you shouldn't keep a moonbeam in a jar. Even when that moonbeam makes you feel less alone and makes everything better. Good book about the care and tending of friendships for little ones. Gorgeous illustrations invite readers into a cozy beautiful world.

3.5/5 Muted color illustrations with white, not skin-toned, faces. Nothing extraordinary about the book but a nice story about trying to return something that you find to the rightful owner.

A lovely story about a little boy who finds a star. He asks lots of people if it belongs to them and when it doesn't he decides that it is okay to keep it. He keeps the star in a jar and then the sky says it has lost a star and along with the help of his sister they return it. The boy is sad at first but then realises he has done the right thing.
A great book about being yourself and helping others. The book would be good as a read-aloud story for FS-KS1 children. Could link the story to a topic on space.
