My Friend, The Starfinder

In a new book from George Ella Lyon, a young girl listens to the tales of her elderly neighbor, who followed a falling star and brought it home. He also suceeded in finding the end of the rainbow. A simple, but wonderful story with spritely watercolor illustrations by Stephen Gammell, it may have honors coming someday.

2009 news: It is a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award.
