Vega and the Stars is a Swedish children's picturebook, now translated into English for the very first time. A young girl named Vega has been riding a train; when the train stops for a time, she has a fateful encounter with an old woman and her cat. The old woman has harbored a secret for decades - collecting fallen stars! She shows young Vega how to collect fallen stars and share in the wonder of their beauty and mystery. A charming tale of childhood memory and experiencing the miracles of eternity in a timeless moment, reflectively illustrated with the simple black-and-white as well as color artwork. Vega and the Stars features fairly involved text, and is well suited for young readers who are almost ready to move on from picturebooks to chapter books.

When the train stops at a station the little girl feels like getting off for a while. She sees a striped cat on the platform and follows it behind the station building. There she meets a very special old woman. The woman has a secret which will soon be the girl's secret too.
