Falling Star

CRASH LANDING IN A BOOKSTORE NEAR YOU!

From the creator of Hidden Gem and Sour Apple comes a new out-of-this-world picture book about a star who loses their shine from the pressures of over-achieving.

Being the star that people wish on is demanding work! And when the burden of performing becomes too much to bear, even celestial bodies take a hit.

As a star falls from their sky-high position, their self-esteem takes a real nosedive. But a lift from an unlikely source gives this star a new purpose, along with the courage to glow again.
