One little night star,

Twinkling in deep blue.

I run inside to take my bath,

Then there are…

Two!

Ten Little Night Stars is a sweet bedtime counting book perfect for the youngest readers. One by one the stars come out in the night sky as cute and cuddly animals go through their bedtime routines. This board book will encourage children to turn the page with interactive and engaging rhyme as it takes them through the routine of bath time, story time, and sleep.

Deb is related to Johnny Gruelle, the creator of Raggedy Ann and Andy and grew up on his whimsical stories. She now feels honored to share new children’s stories to enrich children’s lives and encourage giggling. Though both Deb’s parents and kids are quite artistic, this skill seems to have skipped her entirely. That’s one reason she’s so grateful for Gabi Murphy, the wonderful illustrator for Ten Little Night Stars.

She’s an advocate of reading to children early and often. She loved (and survived)  homeschooling her three multi-cultural children, who are now adults. (Just ask her about the challenges of raising children who fit like square pegs in the round holes of typical school systems.) She lives in Northern California where she enjoys reading mysteries and eating popcorn on her porch swing in the summer and by her fireplace in winter.
