How Many Stars in the Sky?

Mama's away one night, and her son can't sleep. He tries to relax by counting stars, but the more of them he sees, the more determined he is to count every single one...

Then the boy finds that Daddy can't sleep either. Together, the two of them set off on an unforgettable all-night journey of discovery.

"James E. Ransome's oil paintings complement Lenny Hort's poetic text perfectly." —Washington Post

| Unable to sleep with Mama away, the little boy goes out into the night to count the stars. His father joins him, and the two embark on a stargazing odyssey. "In this worthy addition to the ranks of stories featuring African-American characters, the lyrical rhythm of Hort's text is brought to vibrant life by Ransome's painterly illustrations."--Publishers Weekly.
