Where I live, lots of lights flash and glow in the night sky. It's different at Grandpa's house. During a week-long visit to Grandpa's house, a young child sees the night sky clearly for the first time and realizes all the wonderful things that can be seen in the stars with Grandpa's help and a bit of imagination: penguins, rubber boots, and even an elephant!When Grandpa has to go to the hospital, and everything feels wrong and sad, the child comes up with a plan to recreate the special night sky they shared.
With the help of some craft supplies and paper, the child's bedroom ceiling is transformed into a comforting masterpiece where it just might be possible to see Grandpa marching with penguins.
