Praise for Coralie Bickford-Smith: "Coralie Bickford-Smith is the queen of beautiful book covers," -Grace Bonney, Design Sponge "Penguin's brightest star is not an author but an illustrator called Coralie Bickford-Smith." - AbeBooks "Penguin Design geeks and bookworms alike have fallen in love with Bickford-Smith's beautiful -- and thoughtful -- work." - Fast Company "Coralie Bickford-Smith is easily our favorite book cover designer." - Brain Pickings "London-based Coralie Bickford-Smith is the darling of the book design world." - Bon Appetit, "Brilliant . . . a delight." -Philip Pullman "What keeps the pages turning is the remarkable illustrations, which shift from spread to spread... It's a spectacular show of friendship's power to change and fill lives." - The Boston Globe "A beautiful piece of design coupled with thoughtful prose...[a] masterpiece." - Newsweek "The most physically beautiful book I had the pleasure of holding in my hands in 2015...Really, The Fox and the Star is an art book, a chance for the abundantly talented Bickford-Smith--best-known for designing the crave-worthy Penguin hardcover classics--to create an entire book from scratch. The simple story of a young fox who loses his best friend only to discover a whole new world makes a sweet premise, but the main attraction is Bickford-Smith's masterful exercise of the book designer's craft. " --Laura Miller, Slate "A delightful surprise for fairy tale lovers of all ages." -- Parade "Book designer Coralie Bickford-Smith has created a volume that's as close to a work of art as anything mass-produced can be...It's a quiet allegory made perfect by exquisite, pattern-based illustrations printed on heavy paper. While older children will be mesmerized, The Fox and the Star is for readers of any age who appreciate sophisticated visuals. Grade: A+" -- Cleveland Plain Dealer "One of the most beautiful kids books in recent memory." -- St. Louis Post-Dispatch "An unusual, pleasantly old-fashioned... gorgeous production value and moving illustrations." -- Booklist Praise for Coralie Bickford-Smith: "Coralie Bickford-Smith is the queen of beautiful book covers," -Grace Bonney, Design Sponge "Penguin's brightest star is not an author but an illustrator called Coralie Bickford-Smith." - AbeBooks "Penguin Design geeks and bookworms alike have fallen in love with Bickford-Smith's beautiful -- and thoughtful -- work." - Fast Company "Coralie Bickford-Smith is easily our favorite book cover designer." - Brain Pickings "London-based Coralie Bickford-Smith is the darling of the book design world." - Bon Appetit

Synopsis
From the award-winning designer of the iconic Penguin Hardcover Classics comes a beautifully illustrated fable about loss, friendship, and courage The Fox and the Star is the story of a friendship between a lonely Fox and the Star who guides him through the frightfully dark forest. Illuminated by Star's rays, Fox forages for food, runs with the rabbits, and dances in the rain--until Star suddenly goes out and life changes, leaving Fox huddling for warmth in the unfamiliar dark. To find his missing Star, Fox must embark on a wondrous journey beyond the world he knows--a journey lit by courage, newfound friends, and just maybe, a star-filled new sky. Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement and the art of William Blake, The Fox and the Star is a heartwarming, hopeful tale which comes alive through Bickford-Smith's beloved illustrations, guiding readers both young and grown to "look up beyond your ears."
