"Psst! …Look Up! Can you reach for the stars?... Shooting Star! is an inspirational children's picture book for ages 4 and up from the author and illustrator team of I am Me...You, Us and We. A highly decorated grandfather, dressed in a night gown and rocket-fueled slippers, narrates his epic space voyage to his grand-daughter back on Earth. Accompanied by his daring cat, they blast out on an adventure into the Milky Way, across the Moon, past the planets, to their destination amidst the stars. Whilst he is having this incredible adventure, he comforts his grand-daughter who cannot sleep for missing him, reminding her that "We are all made of stars" so to always shine bright! His starlight will always guide her back to bed at night when she looks for him. "Shooting Star! is a beautifully illustrated enchanting tale. An older member of the family bids farewell to the youngest in his journey with his cat into a new existence in the stars. It's a story of family love, separation and a heavenly future. Using the simple and elegant metaphor of an ancient myth, Caroline Trowbridge informs us that we were once stardust and will return to stardust. Through it, children can come to terms with loss and learn about our place in our vast and mysterious universe."
