Phoebe helps her dad set up telescopes on the sidewalk outside his store. It’s a special night — Saturn and Mars are going to appear together in the sky. But will Phoebe be able to see them with all the city lights? Raindrops begin to fall, followed by lightning and thunder. Phoebe is filled with disappointment as she and her father hurry inside to wait out the storm. But suddenly the power fails and then, amazingly, the rain and clouds disappear. Phoebe and her dad and all kinds of people spill into the street. And there, in the bright night sky, the splendor of the planets and a multitude of stars are revealed for all to see. An illustrated afterword includes information about the solar system, planetary conjunctions and rings, moons, telescopes and light pollution. A glossary and recommended further reading are also included.

From School Library Journal Gr 2–5—Phoebe loves everything about the stars. She draws the planets on the sidewalk outside of her dad's store after helping him set up the telescope. Saturn and Mars are going to be visible tonight up in the night sky. But Dad warns her that they might be hard to see, since the city lights "always turned the night sky gray and dull." Phoebe is disappointed and wishes that the lights would go out, just for a while. Sicuro's mixed-media illustrations help children understand the story from the girl's point of view. From her chalk drawings of the planets to the up-close view of Phoebe making her wish, readers are in the moment, hoping that Phoebe will get to see the stars. Several informational pages offer "More About Our Night Sky," including facts about the solar system, telescopes, and light pollution. VERDICT This fictional story will pair nicely with nonfiction titles on the topic, such as Jacqueline Mitton's Zoo in the Sky (1998) and Once Upon a Starry Night (2004, both National Geographic).—Annette Herbert, F. E. Smith Elementary School, Cortland, NY
Review "Capture[s] a strong sense of a special, shared moment." — Kirkus Reviews"Krishnaswami’s elegant, understated writing focuses . . . on Phoebe’s hopes, disappointments, and curiosities, as well as her tender relationship with her father. Newcomer Sicuro’s mixed-media illustrations are similarly attentive to the story’s emotions." — Publishers Weekly"A warm and wonderful ode to the universe for the modern urban astronomer." — Brain Pickings"A gentle tale of a shared father/daughter enterprise, and Sicuro’s mixed-media illustrations, with their gauzy chalk and translucent watercolor touches, convey both the objective and emotive pleasures of stargazing." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"This story of a young girl of color with a passion for science will fill a gap in many collections." — Booklist"Sicuro captures the wonder of 'how deep the night was and how endless' through a series of circular drawings and collages . . . as Krishnaswami’s near-breathless prose recounts first one and then another of the sights now visible." — Horn Book"In addition to a sweet, resonating, multi-culti father-who-encourages-STEM-for-his-daughter story, you’ll also enjoy a rather extensive astronomy lesson . . . as well as a detailed reminder on the importance of going green." — BookDragonPraise for The Girl of the Wish Garden:“Text that sings like poetry narrates a gorgeous re-envisioning of ‘Thumbelina’ ... a must." — Kirkus Reviews, starred review

It's certainly perfect for us city dwellers, but it would be enjoyed by any child, living anywhere. The story helps us all stop and appreciate the beauty of space, and the incredible pictures bring it all to life. It's rare to have science portrayed in such a child-appealing manner. This book teaches through entertainment while stirring curiosity and imagination.

I went to the illustrators website and she is from Columbus. If you haven't seen her work you need to check it out! She is extremely talented. I am hoping she is going to start illustrating more books! My kids love them. The details are fabulous, bright, colorful, and make the story really come to life!
