Have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered if someone else was seeing the same star you were? Have you ever cast out a wish and thought that, maybe, another person is expressing the same desire? This happens with little Max, Kiyo, and Hans as each of them gets ready for bed: telling their mothers good night, wishing upon a star, and wondering if others around the world are doing the same. In her debut book, Star Wishes, Marjean Cox gives us brief glimpses into the lives of these three young boys--one in the United States, one in Japan, and one in Germany--as they prepare for bedtime. She shows us how connected they really are, and that despite great geographic and cultural distances, their dreams and their aspirations are what bind them together. Here is a Goodnight Moon for a new generation, one keenly aware of how intertwined we all are, how small the world is becoming. Yet, it's the simple things that link us one to another. All it takes is just one star, and just one wish.
