Highly recommended.\" -- School Library Journal (STARRED REVIEW)   \"Beautifully crafted and warmly empathetic.\" -- Kirkus Reviews (STARRED REVIEW)   A poignant story about a displaced family making a home in the aftermath of war.  We used to live in a big city. In our apartment window was a star-shaped lamp, shining through the cold. I could recognize home from far away. But then the war began, and we left for another country. Everything is different here--the food, the language, even Mom and me. Today Mom bought us a package of scissors, glue, and cardboard. Can we make this place feel a little more like home?   Narrated by a young refugee, A Star Shines Through is based on the experiences of the author-illustrator, who left Russia with her family after the start of the Ukraine War. With an evocative palette of blues and yellows, Anna Desnitskaya shows how making art can create a sense of hope, even amidst emigration and resettling.
