SHORTLISTED for the 2021 CILIP KATE GREENAWAY MEDAL

Have you ever wondered how the stars came to be?

A beautifully designed, deluxe edition of Poonam Mistry's CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal shortlisted title. This special Deluxe edition features a newly illustrated cover printed on a satin silk finish book cloth, with gold detailing and edges.

The Fisherman's Daughter loved to dance in the Sunlight, and bathe in the glow of the Moon, but when the moon would disappear for a few nights each month, she would worry about her father and how he would find his way home from sea in the deep darkness. When the sun finds her sobbing one night, he takes one of his rays and smashes it onto the ground, creating the stars and giving the girl the task of putting them into the dark night sky.

Poonam Mistry is a freelance Illustrator currently living in the UK. Her style incorporates a love of nature and explores the relationships between pattern, shapes and colour creating beautifully intricate illustrations. Being brought up surrounded by Indian fabrics, paintings and ornaments have heavily influenced her work and folklore tales of Hindu Gods and Goddesses have been a rich source of inspiration in her illustrations.
