"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder where you are . . ."
Mouse is staying up late to see the stars.
Will they ever appear?
Perhaps her own special star exists a little closer to home . . .
A delightful bedtime story with a sparkly twist in the tale.
A cosy children's bedtime story book, beautifully written and illustrated by the inimitable Jonny Lambert.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star, how I wonder where you are . . ."
Mouse is bursting with excitement; for the first time ever, she's staying up past her bedtime to see the stars!
But - oh no! - Mouse is starting to feel very sleepy!
Will the stars ever appear? Can Mouse stay awake to see them?
Maybe with a little help from her friends, Mouse will find that her own special star exists a little closer to home . . .
This sweet bedtime story for children celebrates the real stars in our lives- our special friends and family. Just like other bedtime books such as the Ten Minutes to Bed series by Rhiannon Fielding and Chris Chatterton, Arlo the Lion Who Couldn't Sleep by Catherine Rayner and In the Swamp by the Light of the Moon by Frann Preston-Gannon, children will love snuggling up to read Waiting for the Stars.
