Beautifully illustrated & I LOVED the "mirror" concept. My nephew & I read it together. He giggled & smiled when he saw his reflection. He said, "Stars in my eyes, too, Tante."✨️

2 stars (It was okay)

Board books aren't really my thing and I'm not sure I knew this was a board book when I put it on hold at the library (I regularly go through the new books at the library and put things on hold). I think the illustrations are a bit busy and the text is too lyrical for a board book. I don't think it will hold the attention of really little kids.

Not as strong as Glow, but I still like it!

Illustrations felt too digitized, and the poetic text may be a bit abstract for some.

Another book read to my grandson that will be bought and put into his “library”

Unusual that the mirror wasn't the last page, but otherwise this didn't surprise me much.
