Description

As friends gather to look for shooting stars, one boy discovers how to pay attention to what's here, not what's missing. From an Own Voices Award winner comes a magical picture book celebrating abundant thinking.A dark night. Friends have gathered. One by one they point out flames streaking across the sky. All but one boy. He sees an airplane, the Milky Way, a full moon, but no shooting stars. Frustrated by his bad luck, he gives up and goes inside. His uncle sees things differently. He asks . . . What if we open our hearts to all the wonders in the sky? The bright and the quiet, the everyday and the once-in-a-lifetime. What if nature's gifts are all around, ready for us to recognize them? What if sky luck is infinite, and everywhere, for everyone? Crisp, evocative text and lush, cinematic illustrations deliver an invitation to be mindful of our planet's never-ending treasures. A final spread reminds readers of the abundance of celestial surprises all of us are lucky to delight in.
