“How to Catch a Star” by Oliver Jeffers is a charming children’s picture book that follows the story of a young boy who dreams of catching a star. The boy loves stars and wishes to have one of his own, so he comes up with various creative ideas to catch one. He tries reaching for a star from the top of a tall tree, using a ladder, and even waiting for a star to fall. However, none of his attempts are successful.
Feeling disheartened, the boy sits by the seashore where he sees a reflection of a star in the water. He tries to capture it, but the star disappears when he touches the water. Just when he’s about to give up, he notices a starfish washed up on the shore. The boy decides to keep the starfish, which he considers to be his very own star.
The book is not just about the boy’s quest to catch a star but also about perseverance, creativity, and finding joy in unexpected places. It’s beautifully illustrated and conveys a heartfelt message about the wonders of imagination and the beauty of the natural world.
