How to Catch a Star

Oliver Jeffers' debut picture book tells the enchanting story of a young boy with a deep love for stars, who wishes for one of his very own. Driven by his desire for friendship and a playful companion, he embarks on a series of increasingly creative and imaginative attempts to catch a star, from climbing trees to building a rocket. This gentle narrative beautifully illustrates themes of perseverance, imagination, and the joy of achieving a dream, even if not in the way one initially expected. It's a perfect read-aloud for children aged 3-7, encouraging discussions about dreams, effort, and finding wonder in the world around them.

Eager to have a star of his own, a boy devises imaginative ways of catching one.
