Starcrossed($12.86Value)

Description

A resonant story of two friends trying to maintain their relationship from afar with dazzling results, filled with wishes, curiosity, and bravery. From award-winning author-illustrator Julia Denos. She was made of blood and bones, and he was made of space and stars.  Back in a time when there were still students of the stars, there were two friends, Acamar and Eridani. Eridani was a star pupil studying the night skies, and Acamar . . . well, he was made of the stuff she studied. In a star-crossed twist of fate, these long-distance friends find they’ve wished themselves into unexpected new worlds. Filled with stardust and moonglow, this cosmic adventure shows us how even the most brilliant wishes can have a mind of their own—and that true friendship can endure, despite time and space.     ★ “Get lost in the stars in this gorgeous tale of friendship and astronomy.” — Kirkus, starred review   ★ “Author-illustrator Denos weaves a tale of celestial friendship full of wonder and discovery.” — Booklist, starred review ★ “Denos's watercolor, India ink, salt, graphite, pastels and digital paint illustrations are rapturous, featuring stunning hues of rich blue, green and purple . . . . heavenly.” – Shelf Awareness, starred review   Julia Denos  is the author of the multi-awarded picture book Windows , as well as Here and Now,  both illustrated by E.B.
