About this title

Synopsis

Where I live, lots of lights flash and glow in the night sky.
It's different at Grandpa's house.

After spending a full week with grandpa in the country, a young child sees the night sky clearly for the first time and realizes all the wonderful things that can be seen there with the help of grandpa and a bit of imagination - penguins! rubber boots! even an elephant!

When Grandpa has to go in to the hospital, the young child misses those visits a lot. Then the child has an idea! With the help of craft supplies and some paper the night sky at grandpa's house can be recreated on the ceiling of the bedroom. Now they can find the penguins and rubber boots and elephants from home and maybe even see Grandpa in those stars and constellations.
