Pearl the Star Girl

Pearl the Star Girl tells the story of Pearl, a young girl from Kensington, Brooklyn in New York, who would just like to be a star. The book follows her on her journey of imagination - could she be a shooting star? A rock star? Even a star fish? The book ends with Pearl wishing on a shooting star for her dream to come true, and it does, but perhaps not in a way that is expected. Christmastime has always been my favourite time of year. Whilst the sky darkens much sooner outside, there is always a warmth and fuzzy glow at Christmastime which I hope I have managed to capture in this book.
