Gilmore Girls: A Home in Stars Hollow is a charming delight for fans of all ages

Gilmore Girls is the ultimate fall series, and now you can expand on your autumnal joy with the sweet and endearing new picture book. In the beautifully illustrated picture book, Gilmore Girls: At Home in Stars Hollow, you can transport yourself to the beloved small town of Stars Hollow and say hello to all of your favorite characters!

At Home in Stars Hollow is ideal for long-time fans of the series as it invites readers to take a stroll through the heart of Stars Hollow beside the titular Gilmore girls, Rory and Lorelai. Written by Micol Ostow and illustrated by Cecilia Messina, A Home in Stars Hollow makes for the perfect companion to the show and a charming bedtime story.

It’s also stuffed with easter eggs referring to specific episodes and hijinks. Fans will enjoy trying to spot them all, like the giant pizza for Lorelai’s birthday, The Festival of Living Art, Rory and Lorelai’s snowwoman, and, of course, lots and lots of coffee cups.

The book mostly serves as an introduction to the show, walking us through the beginning of Lorelai and Rory’s life in Stars Hollow, from living in the potting shed at the inn to moving into their own home. It doesn’t mention things like Lorelai’s teen pregnancy and only hints at the fractured relationship with her parents, so it’s definitely aimed at younger readers.

The text is kept to a minimum, as the illustrations really take center stage, though I will say I was a little surprised Luke’s Diner didn’t get a full-page spread like the Independence Inn, town square, and Emily and Richard’s house. Given how much time they spend there, it seemed strange it only got a couple of small images.

Still, overall, this is a really sweet book that would make a great addition to anyone’s Gilmore Girls collection or for parents who want to share their love of the show with their children!
