Where Do the Stars Go?

by Katie Stewart

Possum wakes one day and wants to know where the stars go in the morning. His friends, such as Bungarra, Rakali, Numbat and Galah, all have ideas and he spends a wonderful day discovering ‘stars’ in his environment. So wonderful, in fact, that even when his mother helps him discover the true answer, he still plans to look for more stars the next day.

This is a sumptuous and beautifully produced picture book. Katie Stewart's simple but evocative text combines with her gorgeous Australiana illustrations to create a very giftable picture book for young readers to share on the couch over and over again. Perfect for bedtime 🌟

A simple question, with so many answers. I love the way Katie Stewart has used Australian animals and bush to illustrate beauty, curiosity and childlike wonder.
