Draw Me a Star

by Eric Carle

Overview

'Draw me a star. And the artist drew a star. It was a good star. Draw me a sun, said the star. And the artist drew a sun.' And on the artist draws, bringing the world to life picture by beautiful picture until he is spirited across the night sky by a star that shines on all he has made. In Draw Me a Star, Eric Carle celebrates the imagination in all of us with a beguiling story about a young artist who creates a world of light and possibility.'A remarkable, quintessentially simple book encompassing Creation, creativity, and the cycle of life within the eternal.' — Kirkus Reviews, pointer review 'This book will appeal to readers of all ages'. An inspired book in every sense of the word.' — School Library Journal 'A fable about the passage through life and its fullness of possibilities, children will like the cumulative effects of the tale, the creation of the world through paints, and Carle's collages flaring with rainbow hues.' —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
