Helping Little Star
Age 3+
Picture Books
A sweet, strikingly illustrated story of a lost star finding his way home – with a little help from his friends.
"Do not go near the edge of Night Sky," warns Moon, "or you will fall off." Does Little Star listen? Of course not! He falls down, down, down, splash – right into a creek. When he asks Python to help him get home, Python flicks him out of the water, thud – right into a cave. How will he get out?
Each of the animals Little Star meets moves him a bit further along his way ... until they all help him find his way back home. A heart-warming and visually stunning read-aloud for bedtime or any time.
