OUT NOW!
Finn's father makes and mends stars. Finn longs to help but his father likes things done a certain way and so do the people who look up at the stars every night. Finn's ideas are a little too different! But when his father falls ill, Finn steps in, and he's soon filling the sky with glittering stars of every colour, delighting the stargazers below. A joyful and fun-filled celebration of creativity, imagination and daring to be different.
