A young Jewish boy is given a star to wear. At first he is proud of the decoration, but soon finds the star overshadowing him--no one sees the boy, only the star. Lonely, frightened, and helpless, he watches as other star-wearers are led away into the night. This affecting allegory, rich with symbolism, educates children about the events of the Holocaust in a way that young minds can easily grasp. Told in simple, poetic language, the book offers a tender message of tolerance and inner strength. Little Boy Star includes an introduction by David A. Adler, author of A Picture Book of Anne Frank and other critically acclaimed children's books on the Holocaust. Olivier Latyk's haunting illustrations underscore the poignant theme.

The peculiar and moving story of a Congolese boy's coming-of-age amid the political strife of postcolonial Congo His nickname is Matapari, which means "trouble." He is an African child of the '90s--brilliant, mischievous, postcolonial, postmodern-caught in the crossfire of a chaotically liberated African country. Matapari grows up in a world of talking drums, the Internet, and satellite TV, a world of dictators who remake themselves as democrats overnight. His uncle is a stooge for the dictator; his father is a scholarly recluse obsessed with proving that blacks played key roles in Western history. Matapari is a young man in the middle--but the shrewdness and wit with which he tells his often riotously funny story set him apart from his relatives and countrymen. Emmanuel Dongala uses the ingenious viewpoint of a child to show up the telltale world of adults--and to show how one preserves one's independence in a corrupt and violent society.

In a distant galaxy, Paul the Astronaut peers into his Golden Telescope, focuses the lens, and finally sees the perfect audience for his story. Moments later, his purple book soars through Earths night sky toward the home of a little girl who cannot sleep. After she hears a thud outside her window, Susie finds the book with a glowing golden star on the cover, turns the pages, and becomes immersed in the story about a boy from the moon. At the bottom of the crater where a shooting star crashes, a Star Child is born on an old, desolate moon. Star grows up learning lessons from the Moon and dreaming of living on the blue planet, Esperanza, which his moon orbits. Despite the Moons objections, Star soon discovers he has little interest in anything beyond Esperanza. When his desires to walk in the green grass, feel the suns warm rays, and run in the yellow sand become so strong he cannot ignore them, Star risks everything to follow his heart and chase his dreams. In this story for children, a boy from the moon learns that nothing is more important than living fully and as powerful as true love.
