This is a wonderful book. I love this idea for kids who are separated from their parents. It is sweet without being soppy and it's definitely not sickly cute. This needs to be in English as soon as possible!

A lyrical translation of a book that’s perfect not only for the many children whose parents are continents away in military service, but also for children whose parents are often away on business. In Brenda Ehrmantraut’s lovely picture book Night Catch, a departing soldier tells his son that they can play “catch” with the North Star (el Polaris in Spanish), with one batting the star to the other so each can enjoy the star at nightfall. Vicki Wehrman’s illustrations make this book a keeper for anyone who wants to feel a connection.
