“A star crashes into a comet causing fragments of the star to fall from the sky. Two children go in search of them with a cat-person and his house pet. An adventure fantasy in a strange and enchanting world.”
Ayako Ishiguro (artist/painter/illustrator for children’s picture books), born in 1973, lives in Chiba, Japan. She has two children, two cats, and is raising a few reptiles.
