Publisher Notes
Alicia is a farm girl in 1871 Australia. Thinking she is doomed to a life of needlework and milking cows, her perceptions change when she meets a famous astronomer of the day, John Tebbutt. Soon she realizes that her future can be as limitless as the stars he encourages her to watch. Full color.
Media Reviews
"This lovely book, based on an actual historical figure, doesn't feel like a lesson, though it contains all the elements of one. Instead, Crew focuses on a child's dream and the moment when she realizes that fate is in her hands. Spudvilas's glowing oil paintings capture Alicia's expressions, conveying, with the text, a message of affirmation."
