TEHRAN (IBNA) -- An illustrated children’s book ‘The Fox and the Star’ (2015) by author and ‎illustrator Coralie Bickford-Smith has been published in Persian. ‎
The children’s book has been translated into Persian by Shahnaz Sa’eli. The Institute for ‎Intellectual ‎Development of Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA or Kanoon) has released ‘The Fox and the Star’ in 60 pages.
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.
Coralie Bickford-Smith is one of the most renowned designers in the publishing industry, especially recognized and celebrated for her illustrated covers of Penguin’s clothbound classics.
Her ‘The Fox and the Star’, was named Waterstones Book of the Year and as one of Time Out’s 100 Children’s Books of All Time. Her design work has been featured in numerous publications, including the New York Times’ and the Guardian.
