Hi, I'm Peaches! Growing up in sunny California, I was surrounded by animals - cats, dogs, horses. I had an aquarium, and my older brother had two fluffy chinchillas. My favorite thing to do was immerse myself in a book. I always loved reading, writing and telling stories, especially stories about animals. Now I live in England, with my beloved husband and lots of urban wildlife. London isn't as sunny as California, but it's a great place to get inspired.

Young readers embark on a whimsical journey with a curious little fox who dreams of the impossible in The Little Fox Who Reached the Stars: Sammy and Comet by Peaches Murphy. This enchanting picture book introduces a world where desires can take flight with simple wishes, beautifully brought to life by wonderful illustrations. The story follows the main character as he explores the power of imagination and belief. With a simple yet profound narrative, it gently encourages young minds to consider what might be achievable when one dares to wish for something truly extraordinary. This children’s book could also inspire conversations using questions like, “How do you think Dreamer felt at the beginning of the story?” or “What would you turn into if given the chance?”
As an educator, I feel The Little Fox Who Reached the Stars by Peaches Murphy would make a delightful addition to any classroom or home library. The cover artwork initially drew me to it. With illustrations that perfectly complement its magical tone and grab the attention of young learners, the book features a charming array of animal characters who are naturally lovable and instantly appealing to children. With themes that include dreams, possibilities, and the simple joy of wonder, it is a valuable tool for encouraging positive emotional development in early childhood. Beyond that, the overall innocence woven throughout the narrative makes it particularly appealing to use as a bedtime story, offering a gentle and heartwarming read. I loved this story—it was such a joy to read! I recommend this book for its unique blend of imaginative storytelling and valuable life lessons, making it a perfect choice for both engaging read-alouds in school and quiet reflections at home.
