A beautiful picture book of cosmic dimensions about the tranquillity and happiness that come from no longer feeling alone, by Korean singer-songwriter Lee Juck and award-winning illustrator Lee Jinhee.

A long, long time ago, in a far, far corner of the universe, there lived a lonely little star. One day, a comet appearsβ€”is this finally the star’s chance to make a friend?

Inspired by Halley’s Comet, Comet & Star is a picture book written by Korean singer-songwriter Lee Juck and illustrated by acclaimed artist Lee Jinhee. It is about the moments of connectionβ€”however brief or rareβ€”that give us the joy and hope to shine bright across the vast universe.
