How to Catch a Star

Product Information

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. An inspirational story from internationally bestselling, multi-prize-winning picture book creator Oliver Jeffers.

I will get through it, and when I do, I'll make sure to treasure every memory I have of them and tell myself that they are not truly dead, because they'll live long in the memories I have of them. Looking forward to getting some more books by this author for my little boy to enjoy when he's a little older. Every night he watched them sailing in the sky outside his bedroom window and dreamed of making friends with them, playing games of hide-and-seek together.The children in my setting loved the story, they are big fans of the nursery rhyme Twinkle twinkle little star, so I knew they would be interested in this.

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of How to Catch a Star with this new toddler-friendly board book edition!

Oliver Jeffers is a creative, brilliant author that really shows his amazing imagination through his books. Oliver Jeffers is a Northern Irish artist and author-illustrator of children’s picture books, including Lost and Found and Here We Are. I could see this as a good way to teach children about rather heavy subjects such as depression, anxiety, loss and mourning. Not sure how to explain it best: the prose is so nicely paced and there's a really good ratio of illustrations to words (more pictures than words), yet there's still a proper narrative to the book.
