A review by thebookgirl
Bright Sky, Starry City by Aimée Sicuro, Uma Krishnaswami

5.0

This is a cute book about science. I loved science as a kid, so this would have been the perfect picture book for me. I hate to call this a picture book because it is so much more than that. This book brings a love of science, to children of all ages.

It follows this little girl named Phoebe who has a serious love of science, more specifically space. She knows the names of all the planets and many stars. She asks so many questions of her dad, who I believe owns a telescope shop of some sort, but I could be wrong.

She is so excited to see the stars although she is worried about the city lights blocking the beauty. She wishes that they would all disappear so that she can see them in their glory. She gets her wish when a bad storm rolls in. The stars were prettier than ever.

Let's talk about the glorious artwork inside of this book. So much attention to detail was paid when crafting this amazing children's book. The pictures inside are so very colorful and imaginative

This one is perfect for any child, and definitely, girls that love star gazing and wonders about the glory of the sky. There is a very informative afterword that explains space in details that children will be able to grasp.

I received this book from Groundwood Books for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.
