About this deal

After a few failed attempts, and just as he is ready to give up, he learns that sometimes things aren't where, or what, they seem. He has made art for Newsweek, The New York Times, United Airlines, TED, Nintendo, and has illustrated a a number of novels. And I don't think I would have been as lucky as finding someone "small and still curious about the world" like she had. Celebrate the 10th anniversary of How to Catch a Star with this new toddler-friendly board book edition! Oliver Jeffers is known for his award-winning picture books, which have been translated into over 30 languages.

Every night he watched the stars in the sky from his bedroom window and dreamed of how he could be their friend and how they could play hide-and-go-seek together. Looking forward to getting some more books by this author for my little boy to enjoy when he's a little older.It has wonderful illustrations and text which both hold the attention of the children and from which they can follow independently after listening to the story.

He is also well known for his illustration and artwork, and his distinctive paintings have been exhibited in galleries worldwide. An inspirational story of a boy who loved the stars so much, he decided to catch one of his very own.

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. 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. 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.

A story about possibilities and disappointments with a triumphant ending, all of which Jeffers captures through the beautifully expressive changing moods of his little boy.
