It's so hard being a little sister - you can do your absolute best but still get overshadowed by your older sibling just because they have more experience and are quicker than you.
"When I was small, I wanted to be a star."
Our main character feels so very down in the dumps about how her bigger sister does everything better than her until her Grandpa shares one magical secret with her.
"Mum lost her wedding ring. I looked for it everywhere but my sister found it. Mum said she was a star and so did Dad."
"Everything and everyone is made of stardust."This was a lovely story - short, sweet and full of heart.
I felt like the main character's plight was so painfully relatable - there's so many kids who do their best but get outshined for one reason or another. And it's important to build confidence and resilience despite the circumstances.
I really adored the art style - honestly, I will read anything that Briony May Smith touches. Her art is just so freaking gorgeous.

A young girl wants to be a star, literally, but feels overshadowed by her sister's figurative stardom until their grandfather explains that everyone is made of stardust.
It's a sweet, quick story wherein the little girl's jealousy is not manifested as anger toward her sister but, rather, as a gnawing ache inside. The illustrations are not overly bright but, instead, often feature warm, glowing light.
Perfect for any kid, sister or otherwise, who feels inferior to those that seem brighter and shinier.

A little girl is sad because her big sister is always being declared "a star." The little girl makes a wish that she could be a star, too, and her grandpa hears her, and he shares all the ways that everyone is made of stars.
It's a lovely book, with lovely words, and lovely illustrations, as Grandpa shows his little granddaughter all the things in the universe that are made from stars.

I think this lovely short story is a true inspiration for children. It allows them to understand their feelings of not being enough or living up to the standards of someone better than them (in the case of the story an older sibling). Many children may really relate to this understand of not being good enough or not achieving or getting praise which I feel is so important for them to understand.
However towards the end of the book it allows and infers to children that you can achieve your dreams if you strive and allow yourself to outgrow these feelings. Understanding that you may not always be the best at something is a mature feeling to overcome which this story helps children to understand. It also allows children to become self-aware of their dreams and what they can aim to achieve and to be 'a star' at something.
This book may also be useful for an introductory topic of how the world came to be how it is - there is a loose connection to the big bang theory and how the world came to be. For someone who loves science I like to see this engrained in pictures books from time to time.

The illustrations in this were beautiful. The story explores sibling rivalry, as the little girl feels jealousy of her sister, who is always described by her family as a star. The overall message of the story is to "shine in your own way", clearly an important message but a slightly abrupt ending overshadowed the importance a little. Suitable for reception and KS1 children.

Let's talk about confidence.
Confidence is hard for big people, let alone little people, to maintain, let alone figure out if they even have it in the first place. The world is an intimidating space and circumstance conspires to place people in intimidating positions. Whether that's your first day at school, a birthday party where you don't know anybody, or simply walking past some bigger and scarier children at the park, life as a child is hard. And it's easy to want to make this easier, it's easy to want to wrap up a child and say - look, stop, this is not your life. Not yet. You don't have to feel like this, because I am not going to let that happen. I won't let you feel that way, not yet, not ever.
Let's talk about realism.
It's going to happen. At some point, your child or the children you look after or see in the bus, will feel intimidated by life and there's nothing you can do to stop that. Life is life is life. One of the biggest things that children's book do is help in such circumstances. And when these books are shared in loving situations, savoured slowly and closely, that's when you help your child deal with those moments that you'd maybe rather they didn't have to deal with. You give them models of behaviour, of potential reactions to model, and to maybe think about when they're in the nursery and having to deal with the world by themselves.
Let's talk about Stardust. I don't need to tell you about the quality of Nosy Crow books at this point; just remember that they can handle books well. And that's so important because a beautiful book tells you that what is inside is important. A child, especially those who are developing their literacies, might not be able to fully verbalise why, but they'll get that this is an important thing.
Stardust is the story of a young girl who feels overshadowed by her sister. Her sister's the best at everything, and the younger sister never quite manages to be number one. But one night, her grandfather tells her a story about how the whole world is made of stardust, and how she's always been a star in his eyes. The lesson obviously sticks, because the final spread sees the now grown up girl on her way to the moon as an astronaut. This final image, my friends, is a kicker.
Briony May Smith's artwork is joyful. It's very calm and quiet; round, thick lines, with the constant evocation of something other in that dark sky, blues and blacks and dotted with pinprick sharp stars. She's got something of a serene quality to the spreads too, a sort of timelessness that's not going to allow this book to date. I really loved one spread in particular which depicts big sisters and little sisters across the world, using a variety of skin tones, cultures and costumes, yet all of them connected by the quiet consistency of line and shade. It's subtle and yet delightful. My only sadness with this book is that it needs endpapers; there's space for something exuberant here, particularly after that end note of the book, and without them, there's an unfinished note in the music of the book.
So let's talk about confidence again. What Stardust does is it models a situation of empowerment for the reader; the grandfather who believes in her, and the little girl who grows up, becomes an astronaut and flies to the moon. It is powerful stuff, and it's perfect for anyone who feels a little wobbly with life. Adult, child, dog, cat, whatever, whoever. This is generous, powerful work and it's hard to not be moved by it.
My thanks to the publisher for a review copy.

Stardust by Jeanne Willis and Illustrated by Briony May Smith. PICTURE BOOK. Nosy Crow (Candlewick), 2019. $17. 9781536202656
BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
This story features a little girl who is envious of the attention that her sister always seems to get. One evening her granddad comes out and explains how the stars were born, creating planets, habitats, and even sisters. He explains that the two girls are both stardust but shine in different ways.
I really want to like this book, especially because the illustrations are quiet nice, but it just has some holes for me. The explanation of the big bang creating everything doesn’t get nicely tied into the concept of we are all made of stardust. Additionally, I don’t see how the revelation led to the girl feeling better about herself. How does she shine differently? Does her family appreciate it? I know the whole ‘we are all made of stardust’ saying is popular right now, but this book is just confusing.

Universale. Suggestivo. Evocativo.
November 15, 2018
A warm story that illustrates the damage that can be done by comparing yourself to those that appear to be shining more brightly than you are. Sometimes comfort from someone that you love is enough to ground these worries and gain an understanding that different people shine in different ways. In this tale, such perspective is brought about by drawing parallels between the beauty seen throughout the world and up in space. Such a lovely way of building an understanding that being different does noes not have to be a negative, when natural things are adored without a flicker of comparison.
On another note, I really appreciated how Willis chose to depict a protagonist who observed her sister's success without necessarily associating dislike, jealousy or competition with these feelings of low self-esteem. SO important for helping children to realize that these emotions are not reflective of feelings of bitterness or acts of ill will.

I really loved The Stuff of Stars, which won the Coretta Scott King award a few weeks ago. When I read this book, I was disappointed to discover that it's basically delivering the same message as The Stuff of Stars, but not in a unique or appealing way. As I mentioned in my review of The Whole Wide World and Me, it seems like picture books don't tell stories anymore. Rather, they spout messages that sound more insightful and important than they actually are. I liked the artwork fine, but this "you're a star because we're all stars" attitude is just too cheesy and touchy-feely for me. I really wanted to like the book, but it just didn't happen.

I love this book because it is so nurturing and affirming. Brilliant writing in capturing the pure honesty of a little girl's perspective amidst family dynamics. Whether one is overshadowed by siblings or compared with others in the family tribe, the feeling of not measuring up or feeling good about oneself and their performance needs to be addressed. So, a loving Granddad overhears the cry of the little one's heart to be a star and helps her to recognize the beauty of her own special uniqueness in a beautiful and powerful way that she will never forget. The illustrations are grand, with peaceful hues and realistic scenes, along with an imaginary under-the-sea visit that is my absolute favorite. The ending is great, too!

A little girl wants to be a star, just like the beautiful sparkly ones in the sky. But somehow she never quite manages to live up to her older sister's exploits. Eventually her grandfather explains to her that just as the earth and all it's living creatures are made of stardust, so is she. He reminds her that while she doesn't shine in the same way as her sister, she does shine in her own way. With this reminder, the girl keeps dreaming about life's possibilities. My favorite part of this book are the bright, colorful, touching illustrations that highlight the girl's dreams and her failures. I don't know anyone who can stand being reminded once in a while that they are made of stardust and deserve to shine.

Contrived stupid sibling jealousy with contrived tone-deaf parents. Boo hoo. Ridiculous big bang explanation from grandpa, the [sniff] only one who [sniff] cares.
Should have called this Snowflake instead.
Shall we call a moratorium on these books, after: You Are Stardust and The Stuff of Stars and who knows how many more? Just riding on Joni Mitchell's coattails.

Such a lovely story about finding your own sparkle and realising that just because you aren't as good as other people at some things, you will be better than them at others. Realising this is such an important message for children and adults as well. The illustrations are full of tiny details that you could look at for ages and each time you read it you notice something different which I think is one of the best things about well illustrated books.
A simple idea with such power behind it through both the words and pictures, a definite must read!

This book is so beautiful and had me in tears. Such a lovely way of dealing with self-esteem and confidence and reminds everyone that we can truly shine in our own right. The illustrations are so lovely and depict the relationship between the different family members and allow for a lot of discussion about what/how they reflect certain relationships

A lovely story about a little girl, who doesn't believe she is a star because all her family always tells her sister is instead. Little does she know that everyone is a star as we are all made of stardust.

3 year old son chose this lovely book at the library today and he chose very wisely. Beautiful illustrations and ideal to support younger siblings in shadow of their older brothers and sisters.

MY THOUGHTS:
I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
This is a picture book approximately 9.5″ x 11″. The artwork is just gorgeous, with illustrations filling the pages. The author writes about sisters, one who excels and one who struggles to excel. There is a moral to the story that everyone is special and shines in their own way.
I suppose for siblings who fight, this book would show that each is unique and special in their own way and that they shouldn’t compete with each other and for that thought, I give the author kudos.
However, where the illustrations are fantastic, the actual story is just too sweet and simple. Sibling relationships can be a bit more complicated than this and perhaps the book would have benefited more from a stronger message.
However, for a younger set of siblings, I can see this book being very effective. I love the fact that it’s the grandfather who sets things right and not the parents since most parents would be expected to reassure a child. Hearing the same message from someone other than the grandparents usually strengthens the message the parents use and causes the child to believe in the message even more.

Stardust by Jeanne Willis tells the story of a younger sister who always feels stuck in her older sister’s shadow. Her Grandpa explains that everyone has their own “stardust” that allows them to sparkle and shine in their own unique way. I liked this book as it gave a good message about reminding others that everyone is special in their own way. However, most of the characters in the story did not have names, which could confuse young readers. I thought the illustrations were beautiful and very detailed, especially the night sky scenes. I would recommend this story for preschool through first graders to demonstrate how everyone is unique and that it is okay to be different. I would read this book to students and then have each student create their own star to place on our “night sky” bulletin board so that students can see that no two stars are the same, just like no two people are the same.

Thanks to Candlewick for this advanced copy. First published in Great Britain, the book comes out Tuesday here in the U.S.! A young girl feels like she's always in the shadow of her older sister, who keeps being "a star". That older one wins a costume competition, found Mom's lost wedding ring, and knitted a scarf "without holes", yes, "a star"! Taken by the hand outside, Grandfather notices the younger girl's sadness and gives her a science lesson starting with that very first star, leading to all the wonderful things in the world, ALL made of stardust, including her. There is an upbeat and sweet ending, but the additional star magic to me lies in Briony May Smith's beautiful illustrations. Realistic scenes, from the family scenes to imaginary visits to the ocean, mountains, and forest with Grandfather. Yes, all is Stardust! Here's one example.

I originally looked for this book because I’m a huge fan of @brionymaysmith illustrations. When I opened it, I wasn’t disappointed. Her drawings are just as captivating as the ones that grabbed my heart in MARGARET’S UNICORN. These, too, draw you into the story, and immediately invite you to read more. When you do, you meet the loving family and instantly feel right at home. This tale is especially good to share with your little ones who may be needing a little reassurance about their place in the family. They’ll recognize themselves, because they too might dream of being the star of the family and outshining their older siblings. And they’ll find comfort and reassurance when Granddad wisely explains the wonders of the stardust. It’s truly one you’ll want to add to your family’s TBR list!

September 28, 2021The perfect story for anyone who's ever felt overshadowed. One little girl dreams of being a star. But whether it's finding Mom's lost wedding ring or winning the costume prize, her big sister always shines brighter. In her grandfather's eyes, though, she is a star. As he dries her tears and they both gaze up at the night sky, he tells a story about how everything and everyone is made of stardust and we all shine in different ways. With illustrations from new talent Briony May Smith, this is a touching story about being true to yourself from award-winning author Jeanne Willis.
Note: The one thing that I did not like about this book is that the font is placed on top of a dark background at times.

It's normal for kids (and grownups) to have self-doubts and to feel like they're not good enough, especially compared to older siblings. Lots of young readers will be able to relate to the little girl in this lovely picture book who feels overshadowed by her older sister. It seems like her older sister is always the best - the finder of lost wedding rings, the knitter of the perfect scarves, and the winner of costume contests. I like the sweet relationship the little girl shares with her grandfather who cheers her up with a story about how everything and everyone is made up of startdust, making all of us stars. This is a nice book to share to help develop a growth mindset.

One of the sweetest, most touching picture books I've read.
It's about a little girl who doesn't think she's special. Thanks to being overshadowed by her sister, she is left feeling insecure and insignificant. She wishes she was special, but doesn't believe she can achieve anything.
But then she is taught that we all come from the Big Bang, and the stars, and we are made of stardust. We are all of us special, unique and significant in our own way.
So the little girl keeps believing in herself, and being loved and supported by her family. Until she grows up to become an astronaut.
Love, family, earth's evolution and history, stargazing, astronomy, and going on a rocket to space, with pictures of your family in your shuttle - what more could you ask for?
It's adorable, soft and sparkly, like the artwork, which is a darling as well.
I certainly prefer this 'Stardust' over Neil Gaiman's book nowadays.
Reach for the stars, figuratively and/or literally.
Final Score: 4/5

From finding their mom's lost wedding ring to winning the school costume competition, the narrator's sister is always the star, which is beyond frustrating. All the main character wants is to be a star, too. It isn't until her grandfather explains the birth of our universe and proclaims we are all made of stardust that the young girl recognizes that she is also special. A lot of young readers will connect to the narrator's struggle to stand out and will be comforted by the book's message. The rich mixed media illustrations done in darker colors complement the text perfectly. This book will be enjoyed as a class read aloud and independently.

A lovely story of a little girl who doesn't believe she is a star because she is always hidden by her older sister's achievements. She feels sad and forgotten until her grandpa explains to her how everyone and everything is made of stardust. This inspires the girl and she feels special again, working towards her own dream to become an astronaut. She realises she is different from her sister and that is a good thing, making her a star too. A lovely story with great links to space and science. Perfect for a read-aloud story accompanied with discussion or to base work around. I'd use the story with KS1 and lower KS2 children.

Had been wanting to read this for ages so was really excited to see it in my local library today. I will be getting my own copy and a copy for my classroom!
This is a beautifully-illustrated look at how easy it is to compare yourself to others and only see your own failings rather than your successes and the things that make you special. The little girl in this always feels like her sister outshines her, but her grandfather helps her to see that we all shine in our own ways.
After all, we're all made from stardust!

Little sisters can feel left out because they can't do things quite as well as an older sibling. This little girl doesn't knit as well as her sister, she doesn't win the costume contest, or find her mother's wedding ring. Her sister is a star! Everyone says so each time she does something her little sister hasn't. Grandpa finds little sister outside being sad. He tells her how the universe began and how stardust makes up everything on earth. Even a little girl who is still growing and learning. She tells us that even we are made of stardust. So all of us are stars in our own right.
A lovely book to make anyone who sometimes feels outshined feel better and to have patience. Things will come. We all grow and this granfather's story about the world and how we all share an equal amount of stardust sparkle is lovely and uplifting. The images that show them interacting are especially tender. The story colors are bright as he tells the story and are only dark when she is feeling down. This is a wonderful way to emphasize different parts of the story. The overall story is very simple but the simplicity lends itself in a beautiful way to the power of the message. It is a great book and highly recommended to anyone who feels small in a very big world.
