Watch the Stars Come Out

Great for fans of award-winning picture book, Grandfather's Journey. In this warm, poignant and highly praised story, a little girl hears how, long ago, another little red-haired girl—her great-grandmother—sailed across the sea with her older brother to join their immigrant parents in a strange new land called America.
 
“Goode’s evocative illustrations effectively capture the immigration scene of the late 1800s with appropriate costumes and background details.”—Booklist (starred review)
 
“Levinson’s first book is a literary event, written with a quiet understatement that magnifies its emotional effects. So do Goode’s superb paintings . . .”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
 
“Young readers can return to the book many times with satisfaction. . . . An excellent introduction to the passage through Ellis Island.”—School Library Journal
 
“The theme of immigration, long popular in children’s literature, is captured here for young readers in one of the year’s finest books.”—The Boston Guide
