With clever poetry woven throughout the story, and charming illustrations any age will adore, this is a must have for any family's bookshelf. Destined to be a classic bedtime story, this is one children will ask for over and over again."
-Ann Jillian, Actress & Mother
"The illustrator and composition jumped out from the start. It is very strong and bright which is so alluring to young readers... Loved the idea of an allegorical story of a little star who doesn't want to go to sleep - a very common occurance with little ones. The young star is captivating which make the story move along all the more smoothly. Nice job in outlining the many important reasons why sleep is an important need for everyone. And the surprise of when you don't get that required shut-eye! - well that is even more entertaining. Nice job."
-Writer's Digest Books
"The Sleepy Little Star is a good-natured children's book about a young star who doesn't want to go to sleep at bedtime. So Papa Moon takes the Sleepy Little Star on a journey all over the world, showing children everywhere who count on stars to guide their darkest hours. Gently and thoughtfully written by Kymberli Brady and enhanced with the artwork of Eddie Moreno, The Sleepy Little Star picture book is perfect for reading aloud at bedtime."
-The Midwest Book Review
"This is a great bedtime story that parents will relate to, and children will understand. The Sleepy Little Star is a two-in-one book, with a poem for the younger ones, and a longer story for others. The illustrations are not only colorful, but adorable as well. A story that can be read more than once is a story for my shelf!"
-Eliza Ferree, KnowYourAuthors.com
"Kymberli Brady's The Sleepy Little Star takes us on a fantasy trip to discover why the Little Star needs to sleep. The Sleepy Little Star wants to stay awake and watch the children play. It's Papa Moon's job to convince the Little Star that he needs to sleep because the children need him to shine brightly. Without sleep, his glow will fade.
Taking a poem she had written for her son, Brady weaves it throughout the story giving it a lyrical and unique style. The poem is set in blue, contrasting with the black text. Captivating illustrations by Eddie Moreno bring the characters to life on every page.
Any child will love The Sleepy Little Star. It's the perfect bedtime story."
Rating: 5 out of 5 lollipops
