Illustrated stories inspired by life experience and imagination.

To Touch a Star

Some dreams stay with us all our lives. Others slip away, through grief, through failure, through the years that pull us in other directions. And sometimes, quietly, they find their way back.
To Touch a Star is a single poem about our relationship with dreams throughout life. Not just the reaching, but the losing, the doubting, the returning. The reminder that every phase is part of the journey, and that our dreams, however distant, keep us alive.
Sixteen hand-painted watercolour illustrations. Every word written and every illustration painted by hand by Rosaria Campilongo, in Norfolk.
A book for dreamers of all ages, and for anyone who has ever lost sight of their star and found it again.£10 — available now.
