"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. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and the art of William Blake, The Fox and the Star is a heartwarming, hopeful tale which comes alive through Bickford-Smith's beloved illustrations, guiding readers both young and grown to 'look up beyond your ears.'"--

Never mistake a children's book for something simple. It takes a lot of skill and finesse to make something both easily understandable and profoundly beautiful. Bickford-Smith's books are both. This book is no exception. The pictures are delicate and beautiful. But they jump right off the page at you as if you are a fox leaping through the forest. The writing is superb and the story brought a tear to my eye. It is truly a beautiful read.
