- Reading
- Read together and pause when the star turns grey: invite your child to imagine how Gracie might respond. Leave the final pages unspoilt if you want to discover the surprise together.
- Themes
- Wanting to keep something special: Gracie takes the star from the sky so she can have it with her all the time, but it loses its shine. The contrast between Gracie's wish and the star's dullness may prompt reflection on whether something can be cherished without being kept.
- Worth knowing
- Gracie is disappointed when the star becomes dull, cold and grey in her hands. This moment may invite a conversation about how she feels and what she might try next.
