A magical debut picture book about sisterhood, perspective, and finding wonder in the unexpected.
One cozy autumn evening, sisters Pip and Maisie are staying at their grandparents’ cottage right at the edge of a deep forest. Maisie is restless, craving a grand adventure, while the more reserved Pip is content curling up with her book. Suddenly, a brilliant streak of light plunges from the night sky straight into the woods.
For Maisie, it’s a dream come true! Flashlight in hand and boots laced up, she rushes into the dark, her imagination spinning wild tales of space treasure, gold dust, or alien creatures. Pip follows tentatively, quietly observing the strange sounds, dark shapes, and nocturnal wildlife around them.
When they finally reach the crash site, Maisie is crushed to find nothing but a dull, ordinary-looking rock. However, it’s Pip's careful eye and patient observations that reveal the magic: it isn't just a rock, it's a genuine fallen star!
Beautifully written and filled with enchanted illustrations, The Star in the Forest is a heartwarming tale that celebrates how different personalities can balance each other out, reminding us that sometimes you need to slow down to see the true magic in the world.
講述一對性格迥異的姐妹，如何在森林中尋找星星，並發現超乎想像的奇蹟。
在一個舒適的秋日傍晚，皮普（Pip）和梅西（Maisie）這對姐妹正待在森林邊緣的外公外婆家。梅西坐立難安，渴望著一場大冒險，但小屋裡的生活總是慢吞吞的。突然間，一道耀眼的光芒從天而降，落進了隔壁的森林裡。梅西簡直不敢相信自己的好運——冒險終於找上門了！在皮普都還沒放下手中的書時，梅西就已經穿好靴子、拿起手電筒準備出發了。
梅西迫不及待想以最快的速度找到這個神秘的「特別之物」。當姐妹倆穿過黑暗的森林走向神祕光源時，梅西開始天馬行空地幻想——那可能是太空寶藏、閃閃發光的金粉，甚至可能是來自外星的生物！與此同時，皮普則默默觀察著周圍黑暗的輪廓和奇異的聲音，一邊小心翼翼地適應著森林和裡面充滿野性的居民。
當梅西終於抵達光源處時，她感到失望透頂——那顆「特別之物」竟然只是一塊不起眼的岩石。然而，幸好有皮普沿途細心的觀察，她們才恍然大悟：這可不是普通的石頭，它實際上是一顆真正的星星！
本書配有夢幻且令人著迷的插畫。這部充滿魔力的繪本處女作，絕對能同時擄獲孩子與家長的心。
