Read this with the little ones in my life and we all thoroughly enjoyed it! Using the necessary rhyme to guide our pacing and sink into a rhythm, we were lulled by the sweet reminder of the love of family.

I loved the opportunity to remind them (and my child self) how loved we are. The illustrations of animals and nature by Natalia Vasilica are beautiful. It’s a story we keep coming back to and I look forward to getting hardcopies to share! If you have children in your life, this would be a fantastic addition to your story time!

Thank you to Net Galley for this e-copy of You’re the Star in My Sky by Susanna Leonard Hill.

You're the Star in My Sky is the sweetest "love letter" to a child!! It's full of sweet words of affirmation and confirmation - GORGEOUS full color illustrations and IT RHYMES - which for me, makes a book perfect to read aloud to my sweet little grandmuffin! I was given a digital copy of this precious book by Netgalley Sussanna Leonard Hill. I would absolutely recommend sharing this fabulous book with all the little people in your life that you love!

This book is based on "Star Light Star Bright". It gives a good message to build self confidence and how loved the youngster is. It would be a great baby shower gift.

This book was absolutely outstanding for our little family. My 2 little ones, age 4 years and age 10 months completely adore this book. One of our favorite songs as a family is twinkle little star and this book really brought it to life for us. It has a warm, comfy, and especially loving feeling that you will love as a family. We loved the story and its beautiful words. My favorites were “forever by your side on this beautiful ride” and “always shine with love and light”! This book is a great way to show your little ones how loved they are. Sometimes we even get a little emotional with this book. To add to the amazing story are the adorable and lifelike animal and nature illustrations by Natalia Vasilica. They really brought this beautiful book together for us. I received this as an ark but can’t wait to own it. This little adventure will be treasured by us for many years to come.

"I'm here forever by your side, together on this beautiful ride"

You're the star in my sky is an incredible book for all the little ones. It gives you courage and gives you a beautiful message. Teaching them that it's okay to and normal to live to have ups and down, that they will have bad days and good ones, but their parent will always be there with them. It has great illustration and incredible quotes that give you courage, and makes you want to believe more in yourself.


Thank you, NetGalley and Source Books for the ARC. I really like it and it was so cute.

A wonderful story playing off of the star light star bright nursery rhymes that is perfect for a bedtime story. Its all about teaching positive messages while following the star. The star travels through a variety of different landscapes and animals.

The illustrations are well done. They are creative and detailed.

It's a must read for your little ones bedtime story.

This is base on the poem star light star bright. I of course always recited the original poem to my own child as he grew up. This book is wonderful as we go throughout each page with a different version of the poem. Two stars on each page looking down on different animal of a mother and child. We also can look at those same stars over us at night.
I see this as a wonderful bed time story and also as a gift to a young mother and child. I would accompany it with a star buddy and a special blanket to go with it.
Thank you to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this wonderful book.

A charming little children's book based on the "Star Light, Star Bright" nursery rhyme, there are wonderful illustrations of a parent and child of the animal kingdom expressing positive emotions about parenting and a child celebrating in being who they are.

4.5/5 Star Rating

I can imagine reading this to my kids late at night, all cozy and cuddled up close. This is a classic rework of star light, star bright. The words are sweet and beautifully crafted. For the young crowd, imagery is as powerful as words, and this one has a fantastic pairing of both. The Illustrator did a phenomenal job creating soft scenes that emphasize and draw your eyes to the lighting.

Each page is a hug and smile.

I’d recommend this one to add to your bookshelves.

This book is read along to the tune of the nursery rhyme “Star Light, Star Bright.” Creating a story to this rhyme keeps younger children engaged. The artwork throughout the book is very well done with exquisite detail. I like that there are many different animals in the book from all over the world. The words in the book send a beautiful message to young readers and makes for an enjoyable bedtime story. My three-year-old also enjoyed the story and illustrations. This book is a nice addition to any young reader’s library.
