A beautiful picture book of cosmic dimensions about the tranquility and happiness that come from no longer feeling alone, by Korean singer-songwriter Lee Juck and award-winning illustrator Lee Jinhee

A long, long time ago, in a far, far corner of the universe, there lived a lonely little star. One day, a comet appears--is this finally the star’s chance to make a friend? Inspired by Halley’s Comet, this picture book written by Korean singer-songwriter Lee Juck and illustrated by acclaimed artist Lee Jinhee is about the moments of connection--however brief or rare--that give us the joy and hope to shine bright across the vast universe.
