Bright Star
Yuyi Morales
A newborn fawn learns from her mother how to move through a desert that holds both beauty and danger. When a wall separates the fawn from her mother, she is frightened and alone. The story then shifts to a brown-skinned girl whose pose reflects the fawn’s, linking the need for safety, security, and love with migration, immigration, and borders. A gentle voice encourages the young figure to face fear and obstacles.
