Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Praise for Where to Hide a Star:

"[T]he author/illustrator excels at cultivating a rose-hued melancholy sweetness that will linger long after the book is closed. A gratifying story of loving and letting go." —Kirkus Reviews

A boy, a star, a Martian, and a penguin all return for a tale of games gone awry.

Jeffers reintroduces his droll hero, who appeared in his previous picture booksLost and Found (2006),How To Catch a Star (2004),The Way Back Home (2008), andUp and Down (2010). The boy loves playing games of hide-and-seek with two of his friends, a penguin and a star. The star isn’t adept at hiding, while the penguin is overly fond of the same hiding spot. When the penguin accidentally gets wedged among some rocks, the boy places the star in a rowboat while attempting to dislodge the penguin. The boat immediately sets sail for the North Pole. Unable to find his missing friend, the boy enlists the aid of his Martian pal and, with the penguin in tow, they head out on a rescue mission. A rescue, that is, until they find that someone else has befriended the star. What will become of the star? Like Jeffers’ other boy-related tales, this one is distinguished by its tone; the author/illustrator excels at cultivating a rose-hued melancholy sweetness that will linger long after the book is closed. The palette of the textured watercolors changes according to location and emotion, with the firmament above appearing in a striking final black-and-white culmination.

A gratifying story of loving and letting go.(Picture book. 4-6)
