What Parents Should Know

Sad ThemesMild

A small star is sad and frightened because it is lost and far from its home in the sky.

Sensitive Topics

The core emotional challenge is the star's feeling of being lost and separated from its home. This is handled metaphorically and very gently. The approach is secular and focuses on community and friendship as the solution. The resolution is completely hopeful and successful, providing a strong sense of comfort and closure.
