Bookroo's summary

In a world obsessed with technology, the stars feel neglected and decide to vanish, plunging the earth into darkness. As the world grapples with the loss of its celestial guides, will humanity learn to cherish the natural wonders before they're gone forever? This enchanting tale invites readers to rediscover the beauty above.

From the publisher

Everyone has become so focused on bright lights and new technology that they have forgotten about the stars. Fed up with not being appreciated, the stars decide to leave their posts and go on holiday. But what will happen when the lights go out? A charming picture book, from an emerging new talent, warning us to appreciate the natural beauty of the world, before it is lost.
