Most of all, he misses the sparkling night sky. Without the stars watching over him, he feels lost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His parents try to help, but nothing seems to work. Not glow-in-the-dark sticker stars, not a star-shaped nightlight. But then they have a new idea for how to make Ojiig feel better -- a special quilt stitched through with family stories that will wrap Ojiig in the warmth of knowing who he is and where he came from. Join this irresistible family as they discover the power of story and tradition to make a new place feel like home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrittany Luby\u003c\/b\u003e, of Anishinaabe descent, was raised on Treaty #3 Lands in what is now known as northwestern Ontario.
