The world lost a wonderful children’s author with the passing of Amy Krouse Rosental. She had a way of making hard concepts easy to understand. You want to pick up book after book, after book. This title is no exception. I read it and think of her maybe contemplating her cancer diagnosis and writing to her kids what she wants for them; more treasures than pockets, and more stories than stars. This story helps fill that library of stars, and an excellent selection for Illinois Reads 2017.
