Publisher Description

The only children’s book by the author of Slaughterhouse-Five “spins the Nativity tale in a cerebral, humanist direction.”

Sun Moon Star is the story of the birth of Jesus—as told by Kurt Vonnegut. This children’s book takes the newborn Jesus’ perspective, offering beautiful and insightful descriptions of the world from someone newly born into it.

In this book, we follow Jesus and meet the people most important to his life—presented in new and surprising ways.

A powerful departure from Vonnegut’s more adult work, Sun Moon Star gives readers a rare glimpse of the writer’s talent in a format that’s unique and unexpected.

This book’s well-crafted simplicity is sure to make it a favorite—with both children and adult readers who are Vonnegut fans.
