Brighter Together
In All the Stars in the Sky, Clay can’t wait to be the star of the week. He thinks that will make him the most important person in the school. Then his elisi, or grandma, teaches him that he’ll never be the most important. Everyone is equally important. That’s the book’s message.
Author Art Coulson spoke with TIME for Kids. “We all have a part in making the community stronger,” he says. Each person helps the community shine. This is what Clay learns. The stars are a metaphor. “It’s not just the one star that’s important,” Coulson says.
