"Award-winning filmmaker and author of the Boy Who Loved the Moon, Rino Alaimo returns with an endearing tale about courage and love. When a young boy's father doesn't return from the war, the lonely boy wishes upon a shooting star--one that turns out to be a little firefly who, try as she might, just can't fly. Touched by the boy's earnest wish, the firefly undertakes a courageous journey to bring the boy's father home. Hope, love, and the courage of an unlikely hero fill the pages of this stunningly illustrated picture book"--Jacket flap.

Like a Shooting Star submitted by SBNB on June 24, 2020, 11:19am This was a surprisingly nice picture book. It starts with the end of a war which immediately intrigued me. There is a little boy waiting for his father to come home and a firefly who can't fly, and in the end they help each other.
