A stunningly designed, deluxe edition of Poonam Mistry's CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal shortlisted title, this special Deluxe edition presents a newly illustrated cover, printed on a satin silk finish book cloth, adorned with gold detailing and edges. Ever wondered about the origins of the stars? This beautifully illustrated story offers a fresh folk tale and a unique perspective on gazing at the night sky. The Fisherman's Daughter, with a passion for dancing in the sunlight and basking in the moon's glow, would fret during the moon's occasional disappearance for a few nights each month, concerned about her father's navigation back home from the sea in the pitch-black darkness. One night, as the sun discovers her sobbing, he takes one of his rays and smashes it onto the ground, resulting in the creation of the stars and assigning the girl the task of placing them in the dark night sky.
