About author(s): Born in Xalapa, Mexico, where she currently resides, Yuyi Morales lived for many years in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she still maintains close relations with booksellers and librarians.
It is a book with resonance for all children, especially those whose safety is threatened due to the immigration crisis in the US.
Yuyi Morales \' first book since her New York Times bestseller Dreamers is a book for very young children looking for their place in a world full of uncertainty.
A gentle but empowering voice encourages her to face her fears when she comes across an obstacle in the form of an insurmountable barrier.
Told with a combination of powerful, spare language and sumptuous and complex imagery that is typical of Yuyi Morales \'s work, this is the story of a fawn making her way through a border landscape teaming with flora and fauna native to the region.
Child, you are awake! You are alive! You are a Bright star, Inside our hearts.
