The Wish Gatherers

A picture book for all ages, not necessarily for children, though I hope they will like it too.

The year turns, harvest approaches, and the longer night skies fill with stars. Sometimes, just sometimes, maybe once in a thousand lifetimes, the star you see when you look up is a Wishing Star, one that can hear a wish and make a dream come true. But once its work is done, who is it that completes the cycle and returns it to the heavens?

One of a series of four seasonal stories for all ages, the follow on from bestseller The Lightbringers.

The illustrations in this book are the result of a collaborative process aimed at creating something beautiful and unique.

The story, written by felt artist and author Karin Celestine, is accompanied by their photography and felted creatures as well as ink illustrations by Tamsin Rosewell. The two have been carefully combined by designers at Graffeg to maintain the individuality of each artist within images of stunning depth and unique character.

The book is completed with facts about autumnal folkloric traditions, written by Pamela Thom-Rowe.
