A magical, star-filled picture book about learning to share the wonders of our world.

Every evening, Mole comes out of his burrow to watch the twinkling stars in the sky above. How he wishes he could have them for his very own! Then one night he sees a shooting star, and suddenly his wish comes true. There’s just one problem: now that Mole’s burrow is full of beautiful, shining stars, none of the other animals can enjoy them . . .

Written and illustrated by the award-winning Britta Teckentrup, this beautiful picture book will spark conversations about sharing, friendship and using the resources of our world responsibly.

This is a wonderful read aloud book about friendship and sharing. Perfect for PSHE or assembly and a lovely book to share with younger children. Wouldn't we all love to bring the stars inside to light up our room with them? Great for encouraging kids to look up, too.

It was fun. As it had so many animals and my favourite was when all the animals helped put the stars back in the sky

This was a bit sad because he wished he could take all the stars but he couldn't. He put them back with help from his friends.

This book was easy to read but enjoyable. The aim of the book was to tell you that you cannot have everything for yourself and it is good to share.
