TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE KID

Drew Daywalt Molly Idle

A hilarious story of wishes and friendship by real-life friends Drew Daywalt, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Day the Crayons Quit, and Molly Idle, the Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator of Flora and the Flamingo.
Everyone knows that kids wish upon stars, but did you know that stars wish upon kids, too?

When Clyde makes a wish on a star before bedtime, he doesn't expect the star to actually show up in his bedroom. Then Star reveals she made a wish, too! But both their wishes are secret.

From the author of the blockbuster hit The Day the Crayons Quit and the Caldecott Honor-winning illustrator Molly Idle comes a hilarious and heartfelt story about finding friendship in the most unexpected places.

Although Drew Daywalt grew up in a haunted house, he now lives in a Southern California home, haunted by only his wife, two kids, and German Shepherd. He is the author of the blockbuster hit The Day the Crayons Quit as well as The Day the Crayons Came Home and The Crayons' Christmas.

Molly Idle is the author and illustrator of the Caldecott Honor-winning picture book Flora and the Flamingo, and all of the books about Flora and her fine feathered friends. She's also the creator of the Rex series, which includes Tea Rex and Sea Rex, and the illustrator of People Don't Bite People. Her newest picture book is the dazzling mermaid tale, Pearl. Molly lives in sunny Arizona with her marvelous, multigenerational family.

[A] work of art. It is sumptuously illustrated in twilight shades of plum and violet with Idle's recognizable soft, gently curving swoops and preciously rounded children, and the luminous glow that Star emits on each page is spellbinding.

Idle's dream-like pencil art, rendered in deep purple tones, [is] a perfect fit for the bedtime story plot. This -entertaining friendship tale is a solid choice for a mixed-age read-aloud.

Daywalt (The Day the Crayons Quit) succeeds in lightening the heavy topic of loneliness with plenty of breezy banter. The real magic is in colored-pencil artwork by Idle (the Flora and Her Feathered Friends series), which has the visual drama and framing of classic animation, as well as a captivating celestial protagonist, who floats through the air with gymnastic nimbleness.
