BE KIND meets INSIDE OUT in this bright and poignant picture book that is an inspirational anthem about celebrating the unique "star" that shines brightly within all of us. Did you know you have a star inside you? Maybe it's vibrant pink, or glistening green, or even periwinkle blue. Perhaps it's smooth, or sharp, or bent. But the star is always there, guiding you when you feel lost or alone. You just have to listen to it. Follow a young child on her first day at a new school in this uplifting ode to the extraordinary potential inside all of us, perfect for fans of YOU MATTER and BE YOU. |
