Set during World War II, A Pocket of Stars follows Ruth, a resilient 12-year-old Jewish girl, who clings to the memory of her family as she escapes a Nazi-occupied city with a collection of tiny keepsakes and a small sketchbook, illustrating her journey. Ruth’s adventure is dark yet tender, marked by unlikely friendships and imaginative escapes, as she uses her art to reinterpret the harshness of the world around her. As war tears apart her family, Ruth manages to evade capture, carrying a tattered bag of precious keepsakes: buttons from her mother’s dress, a rusted locket, a broken compass, and a small pouch of colored pencils gifted by her brother. Each item holds a memory, and each memory brings warmth in the bleak reality she faces. Ruth’s escape leads her through fields, forests, and small, occupied villages, where she must use her wits and empathy to stay hidden, often in plain sight. Her sketches become her solace, as she reimagines her family and the world she once knew through these fragile pages. Along the way, Ruth forms a fragile alliance with Otto, a wounded soldier with conflicting loyalties. Otto, haunted by his actions in the war, sees in Ruth a chance for redemption. Together, they face grim threats and moments of quiet connection as Otto teaches Ruth survival skills and she, in turn, reignites in him a small glimmer of hope.
