About The Book
'There was a baby who had no mother, crying in the starlight. And as the stars burned, the baby’s tears called to the watching world. Stars, bright stars, Can you love me? Will you be my mother?' Gillian Shields’ poetic evocation of maternal love and Elizabeth Harbour’s beautiful watercolours will melt hearts. This is an exquisite picture book for mothers and children to cherish.
