The Starcleaner Reunion
Cooper Edens
Hardcover
(Laughing Elephant, May 1, 2003)
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.
