The next day, Little Pink teases Big Blue about being afraid, until Max points out that Little Pink is afraid of swinging on the high swings, but Big Blue never teases him. Then Max comes up with a way for all three of them to enjoy the stars in this sweet and satisfying story set against bold, richly colored paintings and featuring a creative, brown-skinned child. (Ages 2–4)

Max and his friend Pink admire the bright stars at night, but their friend, Big Blue, won't come out because he's afraid of the dark. This soothing picture book makes an ideal book for bedtime reading. Illustrations.
