The Book
"Look up at the stars, so high above me.
If I could just hold one, how happy I’d be!"
One night before bedtime an adorable little bear cub and his mommy look through his bedroom window and gaze upon the sky which is magically lit up with thousands of bright twinkling stars. The little one expresses he'd love to catch a star and hold it in his hand. Not to disappoint, his adoring mommy suggests that they go on a journey and catch one just for him.
They begin a difficult journey on a chilly night. The two cross through the woods, sail though turbulent waters, tramp through icy cold snow, and finally climb to the top of Mount Digger-Do. The stars are abundant and ripe for the picking. But will Mommy be able to catch one for her adorable cub?
Mommy Bear discovers she is unable to reach high enough to secure and gift her little one with his heart's desire. Disappointed she tells him they must go home now as it's dark and late.
Little cub tells her not to leave yet because he has made an exciting discovery. It is one that makes both of them very happy and satisfied. Can you guess what that possibly could be?
What a heartwarming rhyming book! It's full of love, imagination and wonderment! The illustrations are soft, gentle and could very well stand on their own... beautifully done! It celebrates the message that home is where the heart is. The book is a perfect bedtime story shared with cozy hugs and snuggles. I highly recommend this book.
