The Star

The Star is a short, sweet burst of poetic storytelling where we are introduced to a tiny star—the focus of the tale—who wishes to be bigger and to play a more important role in the night sky. The star’s search for its purpose illustrates an important lesson for the young readers: everyone’s powers and talents—however seemingly insignificant—are enough to make a difference.

In this, we find the story’s main theme: that everyone has a special purpose that draws on their unique potential.
