And One Star More

How much do you love them? More than the sky can hold.

It starts the way every day starts. Far too early, with a small grey chick poking a sleeping parent awake. Then breakfast, and most of it ends up on the chick. Then wobbly first steps. A slide down a hill much too fast. A bumped beak that needs holding. A splash in the sea. Legs too tired to walk one more step.

And at the end of it, when the sky lights up, one small question: does your love go that far?

• A very short bedtime book for babies and toddlers, ages 0 to 3
• Three or four words a line, twelve words a page, made to be read in the dark
• Built on lines a toddler can join in with: a step for you, a step for me
• Every page is a day you have already had: breakfast, playing, falling over, bath, carry me, dinner, bed
• The parent in the story is never named and never gendered, so it reads as mum or dad
• A "To and From" page at the front makes it a ready gift for a new baby, a birthday, Christmas or a first Mother's Day
• One line repeats every night, and that is the line they will say back to you one day
