Fox and the Star

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.
