Synopsis

In the early days of the universe where it is cold and dark with zillions of stars, Brighty feels completely alone. He has no one to play with or talk to. The other stars taunt, torment and bully him because he is strange and different from them. Brighty is hurt by their teasing. He thinks he cannot take it anymore; he loses all hope. After crying out in the big, black darkness for eons, something wonderful happens just in time . . .

From the Author
Growing up is not always easy and may even be painful with lots of challenges. Some children may either know someone or be the one who is left out because they are different from the rest. There are many causes for someone to feel set apart. It could be cultural, religious, physical, or mental. When a child gangs up on anotherother children because of differences, it is called bullying and can be a very painful and isolating experience. Hopefully, you will find the message in Brighty to be one of hope and faith, love and forgiveness. If readers can’t relate from Brighty’s point of view, they will be moved to grow in empathy and compassion.

 

 

About this title

About the Author

A lover of words from the start, Dee Wallain has been weaving the tapestry of her life with them, making meaning from the slightest rumblings, ponderings, illuminations, and inspirations. She is a dreamer whose stories begin right in the middle of a dream and move out to the realm of wakefulness where they come to life on the page. She would like her meanings to inspire those who may not yet have awakened. She has recently become aware that, as we sleep, we must also dream, and then we must awake and take the courageous steps to become.

Review

This is a Great Resource for Parents and Church Leaders ~ John L. - Review@Amazon This approachable simple story packs a strong message that each of us has a purpose from God. Like most of us, Brighty does not understand his unique purpose for many years. Others may bully you for your uniqueness like Brighty was bullied by the other stars, but ultimately he is told of his exceptional gift and plays a part in a special birth. This is a great resource for parents and church leaders. A Great Read for the Child in All of us ~ Scott W - Review@Amazon Brighty is an absolutely delightful and refreshing book dealing with the timely topics of bullying and hope. Children of all ages and backgrounds can relate to the struggling little star and find strength to cope with adversity in their own lives with the knowledge that God is near and He cares. The book stresses that we are all unique and necessary. A great read for the child in all of us
