The Stars
Jacques Goldstyn, illustrated by Jacques Goldstyn, Helen Mixter
In multicultural Montréal, Yakov takes his sisters to the park each day. There he forms a friendship with Aïcha, a Muslim girl, and the two young people share a dream of becoming astronauts. Yakov’s Orthodox Jewish father objects both to their friendship and to that ambition. The book portrays their affection for the stars and for one another as they decide whether to continue pursuing their hopes.
