How to Catch a Star
by Oliver Jeffers
A boy who loves stars decides to catch one. He tries climbing, jumping and a spaceship, and eventually finds one waiting at the edge of the sea.
A story about children, gentle and thoughtful in tone. We would put it with children of 3–6, and at a reading age of about 5 for reading alone.

Or let them write their own.
Nothing gets a child reading like a story they invented themselves. Your child plans the characters and the plot, and we write, illustrate and print it as a real book with their name on the cover as the author.
