A night-sky story made for little hands

Moving from sunset toward sunrise, this bedtime picture book invites children to interact with the nighttime world through simple prompts: waving goodbye to the sun, touching a firefly, making a wish on a star, and greeting owls. Watercolor and cut-paper collage accompany the journey, while the changing actions give each shared reading a hands-on dimension. Its focus on the night sky and the transition from day to night makes it a gentle way to bring those familiar sights into a bedtime read-aloud.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children, especially ages 4–8, who enjoy interactive picture books.
  • Families seeking a participatory bedtime story about nighttime and the sky.
  • Children who like books with touch-and-action prompts.

Book overview

This interactive bedtime story proves nighttime isn't scary at all. The gentle journey from sunset to sunrise shows even the youngest children the magic of the nighttime sky--and lets them make magic happen! A companion to the popular and acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree. This board book edition is the perfect size for little hands.

What happens while you're sleeping? With lush, beautiful watercolors and cut-paper collage, Christie Matheson reveals the magic of the nighttime sky, using the same kinds of toddler-perfect interactive elements as her acclaimed Tap the Magic Tree. Wave good-bye to the sun, gently press the firefly, make a wish on a star, rub the owls on their heads, and . . . shhhh. No two readings of this book will be the same. That along with the gentle, soothing rhythm, makes Touch the Brightest Star a bedtime winner--no matter how many times you and your child read it.

"This exploration of the world at night should be inviting to even the very youngest children, who will also enjoy its imagination-fueled and child-powered interactivity."--The Horn Book
