A Star Shines Through
Home is where a star shines through.
When war breaks out, a young girl and her family are forced to leave their beloved country and friends for a new land where they must recreate a new life. There everything is different: the language, the food, the apartment, even they are different. Their world has been turned upside down, but there is something that brings them solace and hope: a star-shaped cardboard lamp that lights up their window, just like the one they had back home.
With her simple and poignant storytelling and expressive illustrations, Anna Desnitskaya draws on her own personal experience to create a moving narrative about living in exile.
