"Up in the clouds and way past the trees, Little Star bounced across a Breeze..."

The opening lines of this book tell us how Little Star began his adventure as he set out to discover his purpose in life.

This delightful book follows Little Star's quest for his special identity. As luck would have it, the answer he seeks comes from some unique friends he meets along the way. These friends include Breeze, Morning Dew, RainDrop, Mr. Puddle, Suzie the bee, Mrs. Buttercup and even Larry the rat. Each of these friends has his own special reason for being, and, through their wisdom, Little Star soon finds his own place.

The rhythm of the verses in this story is contagious and the illustrations are brilliantly created with characters that are especially whimsical and enchanting. As an added plus, children cannot help but notice the different expressions that flit across Little Star's face as his new friends counsel him. These range from fear and annoyance to wonder, acceptance, and finally to joy as he finds his true place in the universe.

***** Cuddle up with your child and begin a conversation with them about their own special place as you read Little Star's question - Why Am I?! *****
