Though the content at first appears to be a simple nursery rhyme, the last page offers a haiku-like verse written by the artist on the art of making magic, a reference to the old ways hidden in the verse. This book structure can be gently unfolded to see the painting in the background, the words, Star Spell lettered large against the twilight sky, and to find hidden words on the reverse. When folded, this is a small book about the secret and ordinary ways of magic.
