Look Up at the Stars, so high above me. If I could just hold one, how happy I'd be!
A parent and child go in search of a star, but what will happen when they find it out of reach?

This is a lovely gentle book, with comforting rhymes, fantastic illustrations and a fabulous go-getting mother figure.
