Book Cover & Preview Text
“Grandfather, do you know the names of the stars?” Ben asked as he lay on his back in the grass by the bottom step.
“Every sailor knows the stars, Benji. They’re his friends. They tell him where he is, and that’s a mighty big ocean!
As soon as it gets dark enough, I’ll point them out to you and tell you their names. I might even remember some of the stories about how they got their names.”

About the Book
Grandfather Knows About the Stars is an exciting opportunity to expand your child’s curiosity about the universe around them in an entertaining way. The value of knowledge gained and shared by older family members, such as their grandfather, shows the respect children should have and reflect as they grow. The inspiration and main character, Grandfather, is based on John Noga, a great storyteller to his grandchildren who loved and admired him and who was, in his own right, an acclaimed, accomplished outdoors writer and illustrator.
