“The boy from Lost and Found started here, wanting a star all to himself. Oliver Jeffers’ very first picture book, now on board pages sturdy enough for small hands.”
A boy who loves stars decides to catch one of his own.
How to Catch a Star is a gentle board book about a boy who dreams of having a star for a friend.
The boy watches the stars from his window and wishes one could be his. So one day he sets out to catch one. He waits, he jumps, and he climbs the tallest tree he can find. But the star stays out of reach.
Why children love it
- Funny little pauses, as the boy waits, waits some more, then stops to eat lunch.
- A spread where he climbs higher and higher up a row of ever-taller trees.
- Soft painted pictures in deep night blues and bright sunny yellows.
Written and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers · English
