Sing to the Stars

Summary: Beautifully illustrated, wonderful story
Review: As the previous reviewer stated this is an excellent book even for us adults! The colors were phenomenal and the ending made me cry! The only "complaint" I have is that it was a kind of long read for my 4 year old--he didn't pay attention for the time it took me to read the whole book. I'd still recomment it, though!

Summary: Sing to the Stars
Review: Recently I selected this book to review for a children's literature course. I was immediately captured by the pastel illustrations and later blessed by the unfolding of a story about encouragment and friendship. The author shares with us a story about two friends, one older and one younger. In ways, Mr. Washington is a mentor Ephram and Ephram is Mr. Washington's inspiration. As a teacher, I realize that this book is excellent for teaching about friendships, differences, and encouraging everyone to do their best. Plus the story and pictures alone are touching and engaging.
