Parents need to know that Bright Star is by author-illustrator Yuyi Morales, who's won numerous awards for her books, including a Caldecott Honor for Viva Frida. This is her first book since her New York Times best-selling book Dreamers, and here she continues to use a combination of powerful, sparse language, and complex imagery to shed light on the experience of immigrant children crossing the Mexican border into the United States. This is a beautiful story about growth, empowerment and finding one's voice and focuses on the beautiful wildlife that lives on the borderlands. It follows the plight of a fawn who's been separated from its mother. Yet, by the end we understand all the ways in which the fawn's life could mirror that of an immigrant child traveling across the border. Children looking for their place in a world of uncertainty will relate to this story. Spanish words and phrases are part of the story. Lucero, an all-Spanish translated version, was released simultaneously.
