"""Quiet, understated, rather lovely tale of a family helping an elderly relative move on."" --Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal ""Lovely watercolors and sensitive writing will resonate with children who've lost a loved one. At the end is a happy depiction of a sparkling night sky 'and the stars in heavens twinkling happily back' to the children. It's a fantastic story for all."" --Lee Littlewood, Kids Home Library ""A touching . . . story that deals with its tough subject in an honest yet comforting manner; a solid addition to the death and grieving sections of most collections."" --Yelena Alekseyeva-Popova, School Library Journal ""A gentle preview of mortality for young ones, softening but not disguising the prospect and arrival of loss."" --Kirkus Reviews ""An uplifting, honest look at the death of a loved one, Aunt Fanny's Star is inspiring in every way."" --Kendal Rautzhan, Books to Borrow, Books to Buy"
