In this touching rhyming book about family and friends, an ordinary star looks at all the wondrous things in the night sky. Why would anyone pay any attention to her when there are countless stars like her out there? But as she takes a harder look, she discovers how she, together with her family and friends, are more extraordinary than all the others.
Makes a great gift for ages 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and grades K to 2.
Inspiration For This Book: The following is 100% hokey but also 100% true. When Mr. Sun's younger son Ryan was born, Ryan had a hard time sleeping. Good or bad, Mr. Sun held Ryan to sleep every night. He didn't want to use his phone next to Ryan's head so he had a lot of empty time to drive himself crazy through boredom. Fortunately Mr. Sun is good at living in his own world.
As a father, he had a newfound understanding of something he had long grappled with, being told he was special. Growing up, he and those his age were often told they were unique snowflakes. He believed it, but after graduating college, trying to get a job during the dot com bust and then living in China for a year and a half, he didn't feel special and didn't think the world did either. That feeling persisted up until his oldest son Nathan was born. After holding Nathan for the first time, Mr. Sun understood that he was special, maybe not to the world but to Nathan (hokey but true).
While holding Ryan to sleep, Mr. Sun was reminded of that feeling and was inspired to write this book. Perhaps other parents can empathize with this hokey experience.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
