Drawing from the religious traditions of India, Curtis’ book develops the spiritual theme that everything in creation—from the puppy across the street to the stars in the sky—is one. From the innocently asked question, “Sister Star, how can it be that I am you and you are me?”, the reader moves from curiousity to awe as the light from within each human heart is found to be in every corner of the universe.

The illustrations anthropomorphize the star’s spirit so that children can better grasp this concept of universal unity.

Recommended as another age-appropriate primer to one of the world’s oldest spiritual traditions.
