Periwinkle Smith loves looking at the stars. Then one night, Periwinkle sees one star sitting apart from the others. Armed with a can-do attitude and a wild imagination, Periwinkle sets out to tell the star that she’ll be his friend. But reaching the night sky isn’t as easy as it seems. Can Periwinkle find a way to deliver her message, or will her new friendship be over before it can even begin?
A little girl with a lot of spunk, Periwinkle Smith is sure to reach right into your heart!
Periwinkle Smith is the ultimate "girl power" girl. Friendly, and with a heart as big as the night sky, Periwinkle is not one to let anyone—or any challenge—stand in her way! Readers young and old are sure to admire her fierce determination and can-do attitude.
Periwinkle Smith loves looking at the stars. She adores using her telescope. She’s not afraid to build a rocket ship to space. And she knows that a jar of paint can go a long way toward solving problems. But there’s one thing above all that defines Periwinkle: her out-of-the-box thinking. From science to art, her innovative plans celebrate the power of unique thinking.
"Children have interesting views of the world around them. In Periwinkle Smith and the Lonely Star by John and Wendy, an imaginative girl named Periwinkle dreams of befriending a star. But how does one make contact with a star up – up – up in the sky? Periwinkle engages in some rather creative ways to message the star, and demonstrates creativity and perseverance.
The cartoon-style illustrations are delightfully humorous. The limited colors are a welcome difference from other modern picture books.
The repetitive syntax of each sentence is sure to make new readers more confident as they learn the pattern of the story. This is a great addition to the fun and educational picture book series from Charge Mommy Books."—Rachelle Smith, Readers' Favorite
