“Nana Star” is beautifully written by Elizabeth Sills and Elena Patrice with illustrations by Linda Saker.  This is a story for 3 to5 year olds.  Nana Star finds a lost baby star that needs help.  This story teaches helping other because it’s the right thing to do, not because you will receive a reward.

It’s refreshing to find a book of this caliber with a story about helping others. The story behind the story impressed me.  As a grandmother I want to create that special bond with my grandchildren that Elizabeth Owens created with her grandson Vance.  Linda Saker, the illustrator, is the daughter of Nana Star; the authors Elizabeth Sills and Elena Patrice are the granddaughters of the original Nana Star.  The great-grandchildren are also contributors. This is a talented family.  “Nana Star” is a beautiful picture book that you and your children will cherish for years to come.  I intend to share this one with my granddaughter.  It is with honor that I highly recommend this book to grandparents and parents of your children.
