Originally published in 1979 by The Green Tiger Press, The Starcleaner Reunion is one of bestselling author/illustrator Cooper Edens most unique and compelling works, so much so that it is currently being adapted into a ballet. It is a book which takes us into a child's dream of the past in which the stars had become darkened and forgotten. We are led on this visionary adventure by a fancifully dressed angel, and together with the aid of the starcleaners - who carry buckets of soapy water and balance atop ladders - the brilliance of the night sky is uncovered as well as deep truths about separation and loneliness and the remedy for darkness of all varieties.
The Starcleaner Reunion has a deeply imaginative, positive message and meaning, reminding us all of the importance of humanity and connection. The pictures are beautiful and inspiring, with a vintage feel. Yes, it is an unconventional book, and that's exactly what makes it so endearing! I am so grateful books like these exist in the world, for no matter how old you are, it is a blessing to be reminded of our innate connection to one another. Furthermore, I look forward to reading it to my children, for I know it will help cultivate human beings that are full of wonder and appreciative of life!!
