Counting Stars in the Desert
This book belongs to:

Layla and her grandpa went camping in the desert in Jordan. When the sun went down, the sky turned pink, then purple, then dark blue.

“Look up,” said Grandpa. Layla gasped. The sky was full of stars, more than she had ever seen!

2

“Can we count them?” asked Layla. She counted to ten, then to twenty. Then she laughed. “There are too many!”

Grandpa pointed to one bright star. “That star helps travellers find their way at night.” Layla made a wish on it. She wished for many more nights under the stars with Grandpa.
