Up high, in the dark, dark sky … a message: LOST, ONE SMALL STAR.

An enchanting bedtime story, perfect for fans of Oliver Jeffers' How To Catch a Star.

When a little boy stumbles across a special star, he puts it in a jar and takes it on adventures. Together with his big sister, he takes his special treasure with him everywhere – to the cinema, to the swimming pool and even to the toilet!

But the poor star is sad and misses its friends in the sky… Can the little boy and his big sister find a way to send the star safely back home?

'A cheery, warm-hearted tale, beautifully told' – Guardian
