An original, out-of-this-world fable about friendship, teamwork, and persistence, illustrated by double Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka.
It’s up to Giovanni and Lorenzo, Sky Repair Specialists, to fill the sky with stars. One night, on the job, Lorenzo gets stuck in a nebula! Giovanni calls out for help to the constellations....
Find out what it will take to rescue his friend in this imaginative story featuring Chris Raschka’s brilliant, luminescent illustrations.
A whimsical tale that creatively introduces three constellations. Dreamlike and quirky. — Kirkus Reviews “This is both an enjoyable introduction to the constellations and an imaginative bedtime story . . . The loosely rhyming text is a pleasure to read aloud. Raschka’s dynamic watercolor illustrations swirl and swoop across the page.” — Horn Book Magazine “[This] friendly fantasy brings the night sky beautifully to life.” — Booklist An unexpected collision of the rustic and the interstellar. [A] folktale-flavored turn on the intergalactic. — Publishers Weekly Arresting watercolor compositions dotted with shining starlight spill across the pages of this original story about a night’s misfortune for a star-walking farmer and his donkey that will leave readers to wonder about the legends of the constellations. — School Library Journal (starred review)
