    Have you ever tasted the stars? 
On a cold, clear night, Molly gazes up at the bright stars above, which look good  
enough to eat. If she could reach far enough … surely it wouldn't hurt to try just  
one. 
Would it? 
This enchanting parable by celebrated author and artist Joyce Hesselberth will  
enthrall readers young and old. Luminous and dreamlike as a falling star, it is a  
story that shares timeless truths—how the consequences of our actions affect  
those around us, how desire is not always what it seems, and how generosity and  
friendship glow brightest of all.
