![]() In the story, this is shown by Fox going underground and withdrawing from the forest. The story is also about the painfulness of loss, and how it pulls us to withdraw. For me, it’s a lesson in patience, in staying with hard feelings when they seem unbearable, only then can we truly learn something. The book doesn’t rush to its conclusion and the reader has to appreciate taking one’s time and tolerating the loneliness Fox has to endure. ![]() It shows what pleasures can be found if we can be brave and persevere in the face of adversity. One day he can’t see Star and a journey of searching begins which ends with finding more than fox could have anticipated, a universe full of stars, but also the realisation that they are for all to enjoy and don’t belong to him alone. The story is about a shy fox who has only one companion, Star in the sky. The Fox and the Star is a beautifully illustrated book for children aged 6 upwards. ![]() ‘The Fox and the Star’ by Coralie Bickford Smith Interview with Leila Bargawi, Child & Adolescent Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist Why do you like this book? ![]()
