Copy of People Like Stars by Patrice Lawrence held in front of a decorated Christmas tree. The book’s cover shows three children - a white boy and girl, with a Black boy behind them - peeking around an open door. Their shadow, which stretches out in front of them, has the shape of a doglike animal.

Copy of People Like Stars by Patrice Lawrence in front of a Christmas tree. The book’s cover is partially obscured by a gold star and orange ribbon that are wrapping it but shows three children peering round an open door with their shadow cast on the floor in front of them forming the shape of a doglike animal.
