A 2018 Junior Library Guild selection At the age of 12, Gerda Katz fled Nazi Germany and came to America all by herself. Decades before the label gained recognition, she became what's now known as an "unaccompanied minor." Gerda's story of family separation reflects the dislocating trauma, culture shock, and excruciating loneliness many unaccompanied minors immigrants experience. As Gerda becomes an American, she never stops longing to be reunited with her family. Three Stars in the Night Sky illuminates the personal damage of racism in three countries -- Nazi Germany, the Dominican Republic, and the United States during the 1930s and 40s -- and the emotional devastation of a child coming to a new country alone.

Review:
"Well written information about events in history that impacted Gerda's life is detailed: explanations of other waves of child immigration, the rise of Hitler, the Jewish school Gerda attended, the Evian Conference, the rule of Trujillo and the reason Jews immigrated to the Dominican Republic, Japanese internment. A superbly artistic layout of text, photographs, and historical artifacts documents the details of Gerda's past...Combine this and Chapman's four other titles - Motherland for adults, Is It Night or Day?for middle school grades, Like Finding My Twin and Stumbling on History for a compelling congregational or community read."
