Once, when Madeleine L'Engle was very small, her parents woke her and took her outside to see the splendor of the starry night sky. It was both dazzlingly dark and full of light, and it seemed to go on forever. She could hear the stars singing, telling her that she was part of something beautiful, generous, and loving.

The singing of the stars filled Madeleine with wonder and excitement, and she realized there was more to her world than daytime and ordinary things. She had big questions. And she discovered that books, like stars, were full of questions and answers. Soon Madeleine began to write her own stories, one of which was A Wrinkle in Time. But would other people see the wonder she found in the world?

Written by Madeleine L'Engle's granddaughter Charlotte Jones Voiklis and bestselling picture book author Jennifer Adams, A Book, Too, Can Be a Star follows the life of one of the world's beloved literary creators―and gives children encouragement to lead creative, inquisitive lives.
