The Fox and the Star: Coralie Bickford-Smith

Product Information

a really pretty book, using a minimal colour palette and a really distinct style - feeling in places like etchings, in places like fancy wallpaper 😉 The story is worthy of the cover too. It’s about a sweet little fox that loves his star. The star lights the fox’s way until one day the star is gone and the poor little fox is scared and doesn’t know what to do. Hay tantos detalles en cada una de las imágenes. Te puedes quedar mucho tiempo mirándolas, comunican, tienen su lenguaje propio. Hay un excelente uso de los colores. La historia inicia con colores vivos, cuando zorro cuenta con estrella, pero cuando estrella desaparece, las ilustraciones se tornan más oscuras y grises. A medida que zorro evoluciona como personaje, los colores comienzan a volver poco a poco. I liked how clever the art was in places too, using kinda negative space and/or repeating shapes to reveal others. PS: Make sure you see the short video clip in the synopsis as it reveals a tantalising glimpse of the beauty of this book. ~ Liz Robinson

The Fox and the Star is the story of a friendship between a lonely Fox and the Star who guides him through the frightfully dark forest. Illuminated by Star’s rays, Fox forages for food, runs with the rabbits, and dances in the rain—until Star suddenly goes out and life changes, leaving Fox huddling for warmth in the unfamiliar dark. To find his missing Star, Fox must embark on a wondrous journey beyond the world he knows—a journey lit by courage, newfound friends, and just maybe, a star-filled new sky. At first the fox hides from the dark and is scared, but eventually he decides he can’t hide forever and he goes looking for his star. What he finds isn’t just his start, but millions of other stars as well. He learns to never give up.
