So, one day, he decided to set about catching a star of his very own…

Critic Reviews

“…the best recent picture book by light years, is stylishly spellbinding” Telegraph

“If only all picture books could be this good" The Bookseller

“This is a magical, beautifully illustrated tale about reaching for dreams… Adults tend to think of waiting as tedious, but the magic of this book is that it understands waiting as children wait – alert, apprehensive and using their imaginations.” Mail on Sunday
