Celebrate the 20th anniversary of world-renowned illustrator Oliver Jeffers's debut picture book, the much-loved How to Catch a Star!

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...

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