A review by scarracher
Sun, Moon, Star by Kurt Vonnegut

5.0

Such an interesting take on the story of the birth of Jesus. Read this as part of a term project for a children's lit. class comparing this to Vonnegut's adult works. I think it really needs to be studied to be fully appreciated. Vonnegut truly captures the simplicity of how a newborn would look at a world full of things it did not fully understand yet, and the representation of different people in his life as different kinds of light is a beautiful idea. It explores the idea of sight as the most important way of understanding the world as an infant, focusing on light and colors, and uses these things to explore or explain the infant's relationship with the people around it as well.
