Cheerful, and altogether wonderful reading experience

Collaboratively written by Ann Garrett and Gene-Michael Higney, and illustrated by Pattima Singhalaka, Stardusters is the story of Arin and Avery, two young angels who set off a chain of events that threatens the earth with disaster! Even the boss angel Sarge, can't get these two squabbling little angels to get along with each other. But when Arin and Avery inadvertently spill barrels of stardust and sends the stuff cascading toward earth, the two seek to avert a catastrophe and begin to work together without quite realizing it. The stardust changes form and covers the Earth with a blanket of cold, white flakes -- to the joy and delight of Earth's people. Out of this experience both Arin and Avery realize the delightful benefits of cooperation. Stardusters is an original, entertaining, cheerful, and altogether wonderful reading experience for children ages 4 to 8 and in preschool through third grade.
