Small Billy and the Midnight Star by Nettie Hilton
Every night, the smallest bilby looks up at the midnight sky and searches for his favourite star - the smallest one that hangs close to the edge of the sky. Every night she shines down on him. But one night, fearful that she may go away and never come back, the smallest bilby decides to give her something that will make her remember him forever and always.
It may be sentimental, but it's also a winner-- The Sunday Times The tender side of the maile gets a nocturnal airing... Bruce Whatley makes (the bilbies) huggable, slightly whimsical creatures... The subtle fun of Whatley's illustrations counters the syrupy taste of Nette Hilton's text... -- Books for Keeps This is a simple, magical story... the star's response is beautiful, innocent and simple, but poignantly reminding us that we all yearn to be special, and remembered. -- Carousel ...an affecitonate and endearing picture book about friendship. -- Carmarthen Journal charming -- The School Librarian
