A Place Where Stars Rest is a beautiful picture book made with the texture and shape of paper.

Internationally praised Japanese artist and designer Katsumi Komagata tells a tender and simple story on the nature of stars. Each page is complete with text in English, French, and Japanese.  The book was originally produced as a gift from the city of Grenoble in celebration of all the babies born that year.

Praise:

“A fresh and surprising volume that blurs the boundary between text and illustration.”  Publishers Weekly

"Katsumi Komagata's books are magic doors. A Place Where Stars Rest is a wonder." —Leonard S. Marcus

This whimsical cut-out paper book gently describes the night sky and the community of stars that live and rest there.
