Reach for this book when your child starts asking those big, unanswerable questions about why the world is the way it is, or when they show a budding interest in the mysteries of the night sky. Geraldine McCaughrean offers a beautifully curated bridge between the scientific curiosity of a young stargazer and the imaginative power of global storytelling. This collection moves beyond Western constellations to provide a diverse, global perspective on the cosmos. Through fifteen distinct myths, children are introduced to the idea that every culture has looked at the same stars and seen different stories. It is a wonderful tool for building empathy and cultural awareness, as it highlights our shared human wonder. The language is rich and evocative, making it perfect for independent readers aged 8 to 12 or as a shared bedtime read-aloud that invites quiet reflection before sleep.
