Publication day: For All the stars across the sky

Also available around the world in these languages:

FOR ALL THE STARS ACROSS THE SKY, the new picture book by Karl Newson and illustrated by Chiaki Okada, is published for the first time in English today by Walker Books. 

For all the stars across the sky,
big and little and bright.
Here's a wish from me to you, 
before we say goodnight...

For a little bear called Luna and her mother, this magical incantation transforms bedtime into a wondrous journey through the sky and under the sea...and finally to sleep. 

At Paper Crane Agency, it is our privilege to represent Chiaki Okada in her collaboration with Walker Books Ltd. and picture book author Karl Newson on this amazing book.

Readers around the world have enjoyed many of Chiaki Okada's books in languages other than her native Japanese, but this is the first time that readers in English have been able to see her illustrations as they bring Karl Newson's musical words to life. 

We hope readers will fall in love with her adorable characters and dreamy scenes as much as we have. Many thanks to to Karl and to everyone at Walker for this wonderful collaboration!
