The Little Star
Children’s Book, illustrated by Tatiana Romanova Surya
“We are not shining to compete with other stars; we are doing it to brighten up those people’s lives. When they see us shining, we make them happy. Think about that the next time you try to shine…”
Why does the Little Star find it so hard to shine?
There are times in life when we find it difficult to meet the expectations of our parents, teachers, and peers. It’s at times like these that we need to decide what is really important to us: this is the journey of Little Star.
“The Little Star is dedicated to all those young and not-so-young friends who gave me such encouraging comments on reading The Sunshine Story, The Little Grey Cloud, and The Snowflake Story. ‘If I can do this, anyone can.’ ”
