Description
"Joe is starstruck, determined to find his way up, up, up to the magical lights in the night sky. "In your dreams!" his pals say. But when Joe and his dad put their heads and hearts together, there's no stopping them. Together they climb ladders, construct towers, and launch rockets in a tireless quest to reach the unreachable. Airy and playful, Gill Smith's dynamic illustrations perfectly complement David Almond's ebullient tale of sky-high courage--and the power of the imagination to pilot a dream--in a picture book adventure for stargazers and sidekicks of all ages."--
