Shirley Barber was an acclaimed author and illustrator whose work has been published in many languages and countries around the world. Sales of her books total well into the millions to date. Shirley lived in Melbourne and continued to draw and paint and immerse herself in the world of fairies and her imagination until her passing.

Along with her beautiful fairy images, many of her paintings include superb illustrations of animals, flowers, and plants, which reflects her deep love of the natural world.

Let this Shirley Barber classic take you back down a road of beautiful childhood memories and nostalgia.

"It is evening, time to sleep..."

The Starlight Fairy visits all the little birds and animals - and even children and their toys - just as they are nodding off to sleep. She sprinkles their closed eyes with stardust - and in turn they have the sweetest dreams.

The kittens dream of a river of milk, the birds of flying with the fairies, the puppy of playing with his friends in a country meadow...

Whenever this book is opened the stars will twinkle around the Starlight Fairy. This delightful story, with Shirley Barber's enchanting illustrations, is the perfect bedtime story. Sweet dreams are sure to follow!
