Inhaltsangabe

“At times your stars are shining bright. They feel so strong, and real and right. But then you fall…” Join pals Star and Cloud as they explore a “curious trick” to navigating the emotional ups and downs of life.

Finding Your Stars is a beautifully illustrated children's book that encourages children – and their adults – to identify and nurture their strengths and talents, while also accepting their fears and difficult emotions. Featuring a complex relationship between endearing star and cloud characters, it provides kids, parents and caregivers with a helpful tool to reflect on and practice mindfulness, emotional self-regulation and self-compassion. It also helps deepen the bond between parent and child by sparking meaningful conversation and connection.

Finding Your Stars provides kids, parents and caregivers with a helpful tool to reflect on and practice mindfulness, emotional self-regulation and self-compassion — while sparking meaningful conversation and connection.

With emotive watercolour illustrations and lyrical writing, this book aims to bring your family closer by inviting kids and adults to celebrate their strengths and share their struggles, together.

“This is definitely a great tool for self-regulation, self-compassion and increasing awareness of the emotional parts that each child holds — the clouds and the stars.”
— Lisa Azzopardi, Registered social worker, psychotherapist at Catalyst Therapy

"My family loves Finding Your Stars! It can be so easy for our kids (and us as parents) to be hard on ourselves and focus on what isn't going right. This story is a beautiful reminder of how we can embrace those 'falls' and still shine bright as they make us better versions of ourselves."
— Neetu H. White

“A simple yet powerful story that acts as a wonderful emotional regulation tool for the whole family. I love how the words and illustrations bring this beautiful story to life!”
— Allison Villa, Psychotherapist and relationship expert

“I love it! It is so sweet, it brings tears to my eyes. I also like the mindfulness lesson — I learned a lot from it.”
— Dr. Alison Janes Family physician and mother of three
