What reviewers said
"This book celebrates a childâs curiosity and compassion.... Share with your favorite future astronauts."
Most picture books plant themselves squarely in the realm of childhood, never bringing their main characters along into adulthood. This book dares to make a change. [...] a reminder of how short our lives are compared to the life, and subsequent death, of the stars. A picture book that dares to make you think.
âSublime illustrations by Vashti Harrison perfectly capture the wonder of a dying supernova that propels a determined girlâs astronaut dreams.â

"Harrisonâs characteristically absorbing illustrations, rendered in colored pencil and digitally, make vivid use of chiaroscuro, offering mesmerizing, photorealistic spreads of skies and space in this narrative ideal for young astrophiles."
"This beautiful STEM-themed picture book is about a young Black girl who spots a burning star in the night sky. Her mother explains the star is dying, and the girl becomes fascinated with space â particularly with the burning star, who she speaks to at night, determined to let the star know that it wonât die alone."
