A short, beautifully illustrated kids' book featuring mythical stories involving stars and constellations, from all around the world. The stories themselves, judging by the ones I was already familiar with, are a bit compressed, but I found the ones that were new to me interesting, anyway. And the illustrations really are gorgeous, featuring lots of brilliant gold to really highlight the stellar theme.

Would make a nice gift for kids with any interest in mythology or astronomy.

Gr 2–6—This stellar biography of a not-often-featured environmental activist is a necessary addition to all biography
shelves. Ganeri crafts a mix of international affairs and environmental causes with lessons of social justice.
