"In the red dust, where the sky is wide, Joe loves watching the stars. He marvels at their mystery and wonder. But when his family moves to the city... the stars are hard to see. Will Joe find a way to make them shine again? A twinkling tale of resilience, family and friendship." (Publisher)
I seem to be reading a few books about moving house lately. I'm currently listening to the audiobook of The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street, and reading The Wishing Spell, which both start out with the painful prospect of a house move.
Joe & the Stars captures the world changing upheaval of a move to a dramatically different environment. They shift from what looks like the Australian outback, to a concrete jungle. Here, he can't climb a tree and enjoy looking at the constellations, listening to the tinkling of a windchime. Joe has lost his starry skies, however, through creativity and friendship he finds a new sparkle in his life.
This book is currently being covered and will be available soon!
