How The Stars Came To Be (Hardback)

Product Information

Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first. It reminds me of a mix of traditional art from different cultures: I can see Indian Mehndi style influences, patterns that resemble West African cloth, and details on the animals that remind be of Australian Indigenous art also. This beautifully illustrated story gives us a new folk tale, and a new way to look up at the night sky.

There are sparking stars, shimmering pieces of fabric, and flowing locks of hair carefully placed on the pages. We will be happy to offer you a full refund, replacement or exchange on any items excluding custom prints, Goldfinger + Tate furniture, face coverings and pierced earrings. Girl’ persists through adversity and difficult situations to complete the tasks she has set herself, even though she knows this is going to take an extremely long time. This book could be used in the classroom for a unit about constellations because of the way that the fisherman's daughter made animals in the sky.however, although i love it when a book keeps to a theme the theme continued to the writing which made it difficult to read (dark font on dark background). When the sun finds her sobbing one night, he takes one of his rays and smashes it onto the ground, creating the stars and giving the girl the task of putting them into the dark night sky. How the Stars Came to Be" is a great read aloud for K-5, and could be read independently by older student (4-5). In this story, the sun sends down a ray of light that shatters, and the daughter is told to place them in the sky to provide light for her father. Poonam Mistry has invented her own ‘pourquoi’ or origin tale about how the stars came to be, lighting the night sky, and how they are arranged, some formed into the pictures seen in constellations, some distributed more randomly.

Each page is rich with detail and there are some amazing spreads, my favourite, one with all the animal shapes in the stars she has placed. It’s a fantastic independent book seller that will actually be responsive and select appropriate books for you. I don't normally count Children's books in my totals for the year, but I am this time because the illustrations are so incredibly breathtaking. I'm an absolute sucker for traditional tales from around the world, and to see new tales that carry those same feelings so beautifully is rare.

How the Stars Came To Be is about the story of a Fisherman's daughter who was worried about her father when the moon was not in the sky. Therefore, Bookwagon is delighted to read and recommend another title by this distinct and wonderful creator. I haven't charted out my visits for the summer term, but I'm sure there are several in the south) and thanks so much for being so fantastic! I actually didn’t know it would be a children’s book and I plan to gladly donate it to my local library who does not have a copy.

Is it possible he can help a weary Monkey, or might he interfere and thereafter smudge the work across the sky?As such, links could be made with the PSHE curriculum for introducing tolerance and respect for one another’s belief systems. With many a children's book the text is placed almost randomly on the page ruining the power of the illustrations. This experience has been fantastic primarily for the children, the school and also for me (professionally). Is it possible that ‘ a golden ray’ thrown down ‘ to Earth’ might shatter into ‘ a million glowing pieces’ that could provide him with constant light?
