There once was a boy who loved stars so much that he wished he had one of his very own. 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.

So, one day, he decided to set about catching a star of his very own…

The publication of How to Catch a Star in 2004 heralded the arrival of a captivating new talent on the picture book scene. Twenty years later the magical story of the boy and the star continues to inspire readers around the world.

A beautiful new edition to celebrate the 20th anniversary of this phenomenally popular modern classic!
