My Thoughts:

This is a very sweet story about a little girl whose dearest friend for a while is a butterfly. Unfortunately, the butterfly does not stick around, and this makes Star very, very sad. However, all is not lost for her as her mom has a very special surprise. Her very own horse by the name of Luna. Luna also proves to be a good friend to Star. As Star goes to school she begins to grow inwardly and sees all those who seem sad and need a friend too. She wants to be that friend.

This was a bright and colorful book with vivid illustrations that really jumped off the page. The story was about loss, not so much of a thing or person, but of a dream. The author's own story in the back is very uplifting as well and explains the reasons why she wrote this book. This is a story that would be great for any child especially the message of hope and friendship it contains.

I received a copy of this book from the author. I was not required to post a positive review and all views and opinions are my own.

 

MEET THE AUTHOR:

Melissa Stuart lives in Los Angeles, California with her family, their English Mastiff, Gucci, and their pony, Luna! Melissa and her husband stay busy traveling all over the country with their boys’ hockey teams. She loves being a Hockey Mom and watching her boys chase their dream of following in their dad’s footsteps to play in the NHL! Her happy place is with her little girl, Stella, at the barn surrounded by horses and their precious Luna. Sun Valley, Idaho is her family’s favorite summer getaway destination. When they’re there, Melissa feels most inspired to write sitting by the river, surrounded by mountains and nature! Her dream of becoming a published author for the first time came true in early 2021, as she shared her story “Find Your Sunshine” in a book co-written by 10 other inspiring authors—all of whom were sharing stories about shining their light and becoming difference makers in the world! Melissa hopes this story will inspire children to always look up. She wishes to teach them that true joy comes when we shine our own light and show kindness to others. That’s the secret to finding our sunshine!
