How To Catch A Star

How to Catch a Star — Oliver Jeffers

Once there was a boy who loved stars so much that he dreamed of having one of his very own. He tries all sorts of clever ways to catch a star, but it's not quite as easy as he imagined! With charming illustrations, gentle humour and a little bit of magic, this is a heartwarming story about dreaming big and finding wonder in the world around us. ⭐

Why I chose it

I chose this one for little readers who have big imaginations and love believing that anything is possible.

I'm a big fan of stories that capture the magic of childhood — those moments when a simple wish can turn into a whole adventure. I love how this book celebrates curiosity, determination and looking at the world a little differently. It's also a lovely reminder that sometimes what we're looking for is closer than we think. 💛
