A luminous coming-of-age story about two lonely children who find solace in each other—by renowned international children’s author Jimmy Liao.
Our Starry Starry Night is the story of two quiet souls who find each other when the world feels too big. She is an awkward girl struggling with troubles at home and school. He is the silent new neighbor who can only truly be himself when he is alone. Drawn together by feelings neither can name, the two form a fragile, fated friendship—one that offers comfort, escape, and a fleeting sense of wonder beneath a vast, star-filled sky.
In this breathtaking illustrated work, Jimmy Liao blends the intimacy of a picture book with the emotional depth of a graphic novel. Spare, poetic text pairs with illustrations that expand the story with eye-opening details and even deeper feelings, inviting readers to linger, reflect, and return again and again. The result is an immersive reading experience that speaks as powerfully to adults as it does to young people navigating their own inexpressible emotions.
Originally published in Taiwan to critical acclaim, this modern classic has touched readers around the world and is now available in English for the first time. With its elegant hardcover format, starry foil accents, and double-gatefold spread that opens up to capture the sheer grandeur of Jimmy's art and storytelling, this edition is both a moving story and a work of art—perfect to treasure, gift, and share.
